Key to the Highway

You know that thing that superstitious people have about people dying in threes ... or something like that. I was wondering how that thing got started. Did someone like in the Middle Ages during the Black Death notice that bodies were piled up in threes and started telling everyone that people die in threes? Or is it from when Jesus and those two other guys got crucified ... that could be. Did Mel Gibson put anything like that in his movie about the crucifiction crucifixion?

I was just wondering about that on my way back from Sandusky, home of Cedar Point, the greatest amusement park in the world, because there are three crosses off to the side of the road. I don't know if that has any religious significance or whether three people died there.

And up ahead, a few miles to the east, there's a bridge over the highway -- printed on the bridge: CLAPTON IS GOD. That has been on the bridge for the last 20 years, maybe longer. The bridge has been painted several times over that period of 20 years and CLAPTON IS GOD remains. That's gotta mean somethin' ... if a water stain under a Chicago bridge can be perceived as the Virgin Mary, then these printed words, apparently not done by the hand of man, since even painting over it does not erase it, must be an absolute truth.
