It'd be more fun if he drove the Partridge Family bus but the math gets kinda crazy, and no one gets to ride shotgun.

The obituary newsgroup (I used to write obituaries for a living, and it's the kind of thing you never quite leave behind) has a troll who throws around wild prophecies about triads of death. I believe that after today's deaths (Karl Malden, Mollie Sugden, and Harve Presnell) he's having a stroke. The “three deaths” meme is a silly joke if anything.

I either didn't know or had forgotten that he was dead. I guess I was kind of vaguely aware of the writer Updike. And if Saget died in January, or near there, he's the busiest corpse in showbiz. The two guys in front in the line-up look like Picard and Data to me. Though I don't know why Data's wearing glasses. The only name I knew was Montalban.
