Celebrities die in threes. We just finished one cycle with McMahon, Fawcett and Jackson.
Now he starts another round...

The French have an expression like that for bad events: "Jamais deux sans trois" - Never two without three.... Lips Are Sealed

My comments last week about Mr. Mays in the thread 'My obsession with Billy Mays has finally paid off....' were completely in fun.

The man had quite the following. May he rest in peace.

And now master impressionist Fred Travalena has died. It's been a busy couple of weeks for the Dead People Server.

LOL...

How bizarre though, huh? And we were just talking about him in the other thread. Sounds like it was heart disease... and so young. It's a shame. I bet he had a great cholesterol count. Seriously, I'm more and more convinced that in many cases, cholesterol has little to do with heart disease.

This morning I heard that he was on a US Air flight & some baggage hit him in the head upon a rough landing....à la Natacha Richardson.....

WHO really knows....it's still weird.
