Okay, I don’t normally post just to link to someone else’s blog, but I feel the need. I really feel the need…
Yesterday, after MJ passed, people all over the freakin’ internet were yap, yap, yapping about the ‘rule of threes’. Normally, I just ignore, but yesterday it became really unbearable. Well, Miss Z did it, and posted a beautiful blog on the rule of threes…
You can put it on your CAR!
While we’re at it, since I work in health/human services, the full moon has NOTHING to do with your or anyone elses’s behavior. Just an FYI, yes, I know that the moon effects the tides, and that we are mostly made of water, but did you think that the great percentage of the water in our bodies is just sloshing around like a mini human pond inside of us? I also happen to know that someone totally flipped out on me today, and we are nowhere near a full moon. This happens rarely enough that I can say positively “Myth Busted”. Okay, thank you.
If you want to see something GOOD, check out What’s the Harm? Maybe that will clear some things up for you.

You make a good point when you touch on the idea of “what’s the harm?”
Superstition can kill. I just read an article this morning about how witch hunts are on the rise in two villages in Kenya. Mobs are regularly burning people alive because someone is pronounced a “witch”.
A journalist happened to be an eye witness to a burning. He wanted to protest, but he feared he’d be next to go into the fire.
Yeah, superstition can be very bad.

OMG! She’s right! Bad news comes in FOURS!

Seriously, pboyfloyd, I considered ending the post that way.

Bad news doesn’t come in threes. It comes in a steady stream not so easily packaged into numbered packages. I mean, seriously, the only way I have ever seen the way of three is applied is to bad events from a single person’s perception over an undefined “short” period of time (anywhere from a day to a year, sometimes more). Hopefully no-one puts any credence into it because it is ridiculous on its face to find any meaning in such a thing. Yet, this is arguably even more ridiculous in that it is concerning itself with the deaths of celebrities. Why they should get more stock in this kind of thing than ordinary people is beyond me.
