people die in threes, so one can only ask who are the next two??

rip billy mays.
I still don't understand why so many people swear by that idea. There's logical reason why that should hold true. I certainly hope two more famous people die soon. :)

RIP Billy Mays...I really didn't see this one coming. I liked Billy. :(

Rest in Peace Billy Mays

Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m. It was not immediately clear how he died. He said he was hit on the head when an airplane he was on made a rough landing Saturday, and Mays' wife told investigators the TV personality didn't feel well before he went to bed that night.

There have been quite a few airplane "issues" this year. :thinking:

First was that U.S. Airways emergency landing into the Hudson River, and thankfully no one was killed or injured. Then there was some Continental plane crash, then that Air France plane that got lost over the Atlantic, and now this. :( How horrible. :cry:

Sounds almost exactly like what happened to Natasha Richardson.

She had a slight bump on the head, originally had no problems,  felt bad later, died soon after from a epidural hematoma.

FYI: His son is on Twitter if you want to send him a kind message @YoungBillyMays

According to @YoungBillyMays, 2morrow we all should appreciate Billy Mays by wearing blue. I'm so wearing something blue 2morrow in honor of Billy.  :wave:

its sad to hear he passed away, so far we lost Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and now Billy Mays, it seems like we are losing everybody, Rest In Peace B.M.

I did see a Billy Mays commercial this morning, so it looks like they're staying on air.

A little bit longer, I'm guessing. I don't know how long these Mays ads will last however. :dunno:

Last Friday, I just saw an ad with Billy Mays. I remembered him from HSN back in 1999 (I used to watch alot of home shopping channels in the late '90s).
