In England people my age (40 +/- whatever) have been hit hard by the loss of Oliver Postgate - creator of Bagpuss, The Clangers, and numerous other amazing stop-motion children’s TV shows - and now Tony Hart, who introduced generations of children to the magic of art, and whose shows featured Morph, an endearing plasticene companion who was the first work of Aardman Animations. Add that to Patrick McGoohan, and whether it’s coming in threes or otherwise, a lot of ordinarily adult and sensible people are grieving over here, and aren’t able to clearly articulate why, except to anyone else their age, who already knows.

Sure they do. They don’t die in twos and then stop dying. They don’t die in fours and then have a big rush of dying all at once. They die in threes. Three people die, and then another three people die. And then another three people die. As it has always been is how it shall always be.

People don’t die in threes. They die in ones, in twos, in threes, in plane loads, but not always in threes. This is just an old adage that has been proved wrong by careful statistical analysis, and it shouldn’t be perpetuated in this day and age of knowledge.

(shakes head)

Jamie Wyeth is alive and well, and probably very upset about the passing of his father, ANDREW Wyeth today.
