I have always wondered what the power of three means. Is it something that was created by a mad scientist, is it something that follows the Trinity as outlined in the Bible, is it a powerful number? Makes things complete, things are whole? What could that be?

Three is the first odd prime number, in the constellation Orion, his belt is made up of 3 stars in a row, Earth is the third planet in the Solar System, Freud proposed that the psyche was divided into three parts: Ego, super-ego and id. Plato also split the soul into three parts: the appetitive, the spirited, and the rational and so much more.

I have made many great friends on here and I have learned so much about music and movies and so much more. Throughout that time I have been able to share and take in a lot of information and am thankful for that. Along that time I helped partner in the FKA-EG75/EG75-FKA alliance, Tobey Maguire was chosen to portray me on the silver screen (negotiations are still under way) and I was able to ultimately meet some great people. Thanks for that.

And also, three is the first number of how many posts I now have!

Hello Jack White and welcome to the board.

I tripod is more stable than something built with four or five or

Careful FKA. Shannon Hoon was on to something with the whole "3 is the magic number" thing and the CIA had him killed. At least that's the way I saw it.

Congratulations, Bro!

I love the Blind Melon cover of "Three is a Magic Number."

It's my opinion that every three years is a great year for music. The last one was 2005 so 2008 should be amazing.

Also, celebrities don't die in threes. They just die in twos and people stretch their beliefs to try and squeeze in a third.

The number 3 has a very long history both in the arts and the sciences. For something a bit more esoteric, check out G.I. Gurdjieff's "Law of Three."(He also has a "Law of Seven.")

three strikes and you are out

genie grants three wishes

father, son , holy ghost

Don't forget the greatest screenplay of all time, Donald Kaufman's The Three.

I don't know how many people got it, except for that congratulations up there and that guy that implied I might soon die but this was just a big joke. I am really not that interested in the power of 3 but rather this was to show everyone how cool I am and now have over 3,000 posts!

Either way, if you all still want to talk about the power of three, that's cool too.

Coincidentally, you also have 3 uppercase letters in your screenname.

PRG's contains 3 letters.

Chamberk's starts with C, the third letter of the alphabet. Ditto for Crazed.

mark f's contains 5 letters, but with the space, it's six characters, which is divisible by 3. Ditto for crazed.

The third letter of rockthief is C, the third letter of the alphabet...and 2^3 = 8, the number of characters in his name.

My screenname ends in 7-5. Next in the series would be 3!


Aaaaahhhhh! The power of 3. I can't escape it.

Why stop there?!

The first letter in your name is an E, which if reversed, looks like a 3!

The last part of Monkey_Boy's screen-name is Boy, which is 3 letters.

If you take out the hyphen off P-Bo's name that leaves 3 letters.

We both are the only members in the 3,000 post area and the first number there is 3!

Holy @#%&!!!!!

The Power of Three is out to get us! It can't be stopped! It's maddening. MADDENING!!!!!

I didn't get the joke, shame on me. Congrats buddy, keep posting.

Congratulations on the big 3,000, man.

with all of the "three" stuff going on no wonder THREE Dog Night said "ONE Is the Loneliest Number"

David Thorpe called Three Dog Night the greatest band ever, and he's the third biggest asshole on Earth?

see? It's endless!
see? It's endless!
see? It's endless!

The Three kicks ass. Especially the scene where the guy on the horse is chasing himeslef in a car. I'll never figure out how they pulled that one off.
