"Because three indicates persisting through failure."

"Three is a magic number," "Schoolhouse Rock" sang, and they were right. From the Holy Trinity to a hockey line, from Cream to Rush to the Powerpuff Girls, things in trios are a big part of my life. It's one of the few odd numbers that appears to really be even.

It’s the way to have a beginning, a middle, and an end, too.

I love De La Soul's homage to the Magic Number. :-)

The first time is the dream, the second is the awakening from the dream and the third is reality, at least as I hastily see it…

And, if you’re not awake on that 3rd try, just try, try again! Right there with you.

Oh nice try! Did Bloody Mary send you? Was it Candyman?!

We're on to you, three-time man!
