Title: The Rule of Three Post by: Nyboria on June 08, 2008, 04:10:45 PM The rule of three is an unwritten rule but one that nonetheless exists in many facets of our world. References can be found throughout history, art, literature, language, math, entertainment, the list goes on. Groupings of three can literally be found anywhere if one knows what to look for.
Examples of this are as follows: Veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I conquered) The Nina, The Pinta and The Santa Maria Land, sea and air Lights, Camera, Action The Three Blind Mice Goldilocks and the Three Bears Three Strikes and you're out! Wine, Women and Song One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer (sorry couldn't resist adding that one lol) Newton's Three Laws of Motion The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost Without cheating and looking anything up online, my challenge to you is to come up with some other examples of the rule of three. Be obscure, be creative and see what you can come up with. :) Title: Re: The Rule of Three Post by: Wilhelm on June 08, 2008, 04:30:39 PM The three Musketeers
