Last week, a co-worker brought it to my attention that the recent slew of celebrity/notable people who have sadly passed away all pretty much have the letter M as the first letter of their first or last name. Over the weekend there were two more:
-Ed McMahon
-Farrah Fawcett-Majors
-Michael Jackson
-Billy Mays
-Karl Malden
-Molly Sugden
-Steve McNair
-Robert McNamara
How’s that for creepy? Coincidence I am sure, but too crazy an observation regarding all the celebrity deaths to not share.
And by the way, I counted (yep, I used my fingers) and M is the 13th letter of the alphabet!

Well, actually, Farrah dropped the Majors from her name when they got divorced, so she wasn’t technically an “M” name.

This is the first time I’m checking out your blog Donna – I love it! It is cheeky, Sherlock Holmesy, fast-paced, intelligent and fresh.
Have you ever studied how hurricanes are named?
