A co-worker of mine was telling me today about the superstition that celebrity deaths take place in groups of three.  This was shortly after finding out through CNN that Farrah Fawcett had passed away today following a long battle with cancer, and only a few days after the death of long-time "Tonight Show" sidekick Ed McMahon. "Who's next?", my friend wondered.

Later in the day, I returned home after running some errands and my wife, who was logged on to the computer, asked me if I had heard who just died. I answered, "Farrah Fawcett".

Bzzzzt. Wrong answer.

That's when she showed me the Yahoo! home page, relaying the news of the sudden death of Michael Jackson.

So, I just wanna know...is anyone else out there as creeped out about this as I am?  This whole thing has just been Too. Damn. Spooky.
