What I don't understand is why it seems that once one plane crashes somewhere, all of a sudden almost every week thereafter, we hear about a series of plane crashes in other places.

So do you think that there are crashes we don't hear about?
I mean, this is selection bias at its finest, isn't it?

What part of the country do you live in where they don't report on plane crashes?

Winning at life...I'd like to see a Dateline series on those broads (and in your case broads with broad backsides  ).
Cold medicine makes me feel funny.

I can see where your going with this. It seems like nothing major happens for two or three years, then two or three planes go down in a span of 6 months, then nothing for another two or three years. High-profile Celebrity deaths work the same way.

The rule of 3 - bad things happen in 3s.

Also, sometimes delicious Popsicles come in 3s as well.

While I always hear that bad things come in 3s, I can't say that I've believed in it.
The number 3 is considered good luck in the Japanese culture.

Of course you'll never know - do things really happen in 3s, or are you just more hyper-aware after 2 things happen? Maybe things really happen in 2s, or 4s, but if you are looking for them to happen in 3s, guess what? They do.

One time I hooked up with a girl that had 3 nipples.

That's exactly what I meant. It's weird. I guess as people have mentioned, things tend to happen in 3s.
