Today I am thirty three and a third. I am a third of a century old. my age represents the most number of threes i will be in my life, unless i make it to 333.33333...

i've been asking everyone today the significance of the number three.

i was told:

three is the number of the holy trinity: father, son and holy ghost...and most significantly represents the latter--spirit.

three is the number of stooges, although, really, there were more than larry, moe and curly--they were just the original three.

all bad things happen in threes.

three is a waltz.

three is the number of times a dog turns around before it lays down.
