Shuttle astronauts testing repair techniques lost a tool today -- a spatula used to spread spackle over the heat-shield tiles. "I think it's gone, gone, gone," said cosmic tile-layer Piers Sellers, in a poetic outburst. It's possible this is some astronaut way of speaking -- if you repeat something three times, then it's really true. "Houston, we have a problem, problem, problem."
Sellers' statement joins other artistic works in the firmament of thrice-repeated words:
The Beatles' Long, Long, Long
Jonas Mekas' film Lost, Lost, Lost
Jon Stewart: "Stop, stop, stop. Stop hurting America."
French announcer on the Zidane head-butt: "Porquoi, porquoi, porquoi??"
Not to mention: It's a Mad, Mad Mad Mad World
