Well, there goes my theory...unless...
Well, I am not a normally a person who believes in superstition. There are the few unusual coincidences that I have found to be pretty consistant in falling into that catagory. For instance, I have always found that celebrities usually do pass away in threes. Now, many will say, well what is the time limit and who do I consider a celebrity? Well, in the last week and a half, I would say it would be pretty clear. Within this week and a half Ed McMahon (sorry for poor spelling), Farrah Faucett and Michael Jackson have all passed away. Today (or possibly yesterday) Billy Mayes (yeller seller is what I called him). For those of you who don't know the name, just imagine the infommercials where the guy yells a lot. That is Billy Mayes. Now, according to the passing in threes rule, if you count him a celebrity, then another two will follow close behind him. It is unfortunate, in that his death, though tragic will not most likely be as media covered as the others. He was a salesman and not a celebrity in my eyes, thus exempt from the passing in threes rule. I know he will be missed by his family and maybe it is a good thing that he doesn't have the noteriety, his family can mourn him in peace and most likely quiet.
This post was in no way meant to disrespect anyone, so please don't take it that way.

People die, you can group them in three's. You can group them in two's or you can just not bother to group them.
You missed Gale Storms death on the 27th. Bob Bogles on Jun 14th, Shih Kien on June 3.
All of which are celebs.
really? Guess it depends who you consider a celeb. I never heard of these people, by name anyway.
Billy had a show on Discovery Channel Pitch Men Which would put him on the celeb platform with the mythbusters guys.
Gale Storm was pretty big. She was in movies, starred on TV shows and was a successful singer.
Shih Kien, was a big movie star actor director in Hong Kong Kung-fu Films. Among his hundreds of films roles he was known as the bad guy in Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon.
Bob Bogle I can forgive your not knowing. He was a founding member of The Ventures and a rock-n-roll hall of famer.
I did look the others up. I guess I didn't really recognize them because they were biggest before my time : P
