TJones Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Well, I would think that Gerald Ford would be no.2, as major celebrities tend to die in 3's. I wonder who will be next ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No trend here. James Brown and Gerald Ford? Not much in common. Ahhhhhh, both their first names start with a "J" sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhhhh, both their first names start with a "J" sound.Both were still very influential in the 70's .?Oh, and they both shook hands with Sylvester Stallone.

Guest danax Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Both were still very influential in the 70's .?Oh, and they both shook hands with Sylvester Stallone. Brown was known for his rhythm, style and hits, Ford for his lack of rhythm, style and for hitting bystanders with his golf balls.... I'd say we're dealing with complete opposites here, so the "3 rule" might just be a pair this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 The Butcher of Baghdad Saddam.Marty, I have to admit, when you are right, you are right. That could very well be number 3. All have been world figures at sometime, that is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Betty Ford may be next, sadly. Many times when a couple is married for so long and have been so close to each other for so long that happens. When one of them dies, many times the other isnt too far behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
