Who will be the third famous person to die?

[The Equivocate]

I don't mean this to make light of Gerald Ford or James Brown's deaths, but does anyone notice how famous people die in threes? I guess you could count Joseph Barbera (the guy who created the Flintstones and other famous cartoons), but I guarantee someone else famous bites it in the next couple days/week. Saddam Hussein is going to be executed in less than a month, so he could be the third. Fidel Castro? Someone else unexpected?

people die everyday... even famous people

There are so many people that can be considered famous, its hard to have little deaths.

Personally, I hate the way that only "famous" people are remembered; half of them haven't done anything for us and people are dying all over the world, yet we rarely ever think about them.

Matt,

First off, I'd echo Tom's & Isis comments. Secondly, while people do die every day, and we must all go at sometime, don't you think this very question is morbid? Oh, let's play a guessing game called "Which of you famous (alive now) people is going to die next? And, if we guess right, sorry you had to bite the BIG ONE." - On the otherhand, let's not play:td:

Saddam - Castro 8-X

I'm not yet sure if Saddam will be next. I heard Bin Laden is planning to rescue him. :D

I wonder how long till Rockstar makes a game about infamous people dying.

Death is the thing that always makes people think of universal things and analyse their life.

 

[bluearrow]

now we all know who's the third person, it was Saddam. though i don't know he is famous or infamous surely everyone knows him.

They actually have a pool for this type of thing. Like guess the next famous person to die and win a prize.. Something to that effect. I heard about it many years ago, but I'm sure someone somewhere is doing it still.

Saddam is the third in my book. My wife brought up this same thing right after James Brown died, saying "famous people always die in 3s"... Then Gerald Ford died the next day and now Saddam.

I guess it is a rather juvenile thing and others are right. People die every day, people are murdered every day and no one seems to care unless it's someone famous or someone they loved... But thats how humans work, so you cant change it...
