/first thing I thought of

*high five*

Bin Laden, Steve Jobs, Gaddafi, and Whitney Houston.

3 outta 4 were evil.

Every time one of them died someone SOMEWHERE was drinking RC Cola. RC Cola is the cause of celebrity deaths!

Of course making up superstitions is fun until you start adding in things like a Heaven and Hell, Gods and Demons, etc... Then you're getting silly.

three amigo picture here.

Every time I score, someone cries.

We must channel his wonderful efforts, in a more pointed direction.

What about the Soul Train creator-guy. He went tits up.

Obviously not famous enough, but whatever.

In October, Ramsey scored against Spurs, three days before Apple boss Steve Jobs died.

Just stop right there. Hand me your publishing license and go find a job where you use your hands and no brainwork is required.

The only winning move is not to play.

I noticed that too. If it was within a day, I'd call it a still weird coincidence. 3 days is just too much derp to be believed.

Everytime a famous person quits breathing a famous person dies.......so it must be tied to the breathing thingy.

Come clean, now. That person is you, isn't it?

TopNotched: //soccer is geh

In the words of Steven Colbert, "Watching soccer is like watching grass grow - with a bunch of soccer players in the way."

And superstitious fans are ridiculous. This is obviously the work of the FSM and conspiratorial pirates - doing HIS work. We can't understand his ways. We can only hope that those four evil people were finally touched by his noodly appendage.

RAmen

/I'm not superstitious
//but I am a little stitious

a famous person dies every time Ramsey scores? Famous people like those odds.

FTFA:
One fan wrote on a forum Sunday, "I'm worried things will get out of control when he scores more."

The way Arsenal have been playing this season, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Spurs are carrying the torch for north London this time around.

looks gay to me

Every time he scores a goal - a famous figure dies. Every time he misses - Lindsay Lohan gets another year to live get out of jail free card.

FTFY Subby....

That's what she said!

Yeah... Hours later, then the next day, then three days later... What an amazing coincidence that someone totally unconnected, somewhere in the world, dies at some wholly arbitrary time after he scores a goal. It must be magic!

Who is "Usama Bin Laden"?

What amazes me selves....is that every time I pees...someone dies?

I am truly amazinglyfully gifted

I suppose I should consider it comforting to know that innumeracy isn't confined to the States.

I guess every time he fakes an ankle injury while writhing on the ground like he was shot, it rains
somewhere

/then he gets up like nothing happened...
//it stops raining..

I had a friend years ago who once said, "You know, things happen in threes." Of course they do.

We must have the same friend. God he was in turmoil anytime a fourth bad thing happened. Had to wait for 2 more shoes to drop.

Shoes? How about old folks? Every time a resident dies, my coworkers get all derpy about where the decedent falls in the supposed trifecta. This becomes morbidly fascinating when it's been a really long time since someone last died and they start listing off names and messing up the chronology involved. Then, if they determine that the cycle has started over, speculations are made on who the next two winners will be... not that they're rooting for anyone to kick off, mind you - that would be cruel - but much angst and hand wringing will be had for weeks until someone else dies (coincidence) or they forget someone's supposed to die soon (much more likely).

CSB:

A few years ago one of my residents was very ill and we thought she was going to pass any day now. I'm in her room helping her eat when she suddenly looks over my shoulder and becomes very afraid, saying "There he is again! The big tall black!" She then described a looming hooded figure that was "made of shadows" that had been coming into her room the past few days, looking at her, then leaving. I explained that she was very very sick and that he was there to "take her home to Jesus" when it was time but that he was only a guide - he wouldn't hurt her or force her to go or anything like that. He was most likely checking on her repeatedly so that if she died, she wouldn't be waiting long for her guide. She thought about it for a minute, then looked back over my shoulder and told him quite firmly, "Well. You go on, then. I got stuff I've still got to do. I'll call for you when it's time and don't you come back until then!"

I've explained to several people about them, but she's the only one who's ever told Death to fark off and leave her alone before. Three years later she's still going strong and is as ornery as ever.

/I've tried to convince my coworkers that death actually comes in fives, not threes, but those heretics won't listen.
