Le Perforatrice?

Qu'est-ce que c'est! What is this! My absolute favorite French word, le perforatrice. Means the three hole puncher. Besides it being the coolest rolling-off-the-tongue sound, it does contain some other significance. The number 3. Certainly this number is of meaning. "Three...two...one...BLAST OFF!" rings a bell in our childhood imaginations as they went off to the moon in some brightly colored ship like that in Wallace and Gromit's A Grand Day Out. Wonderful film. My ship however included the color blue. Yet another interesting "three" significance. The primary colors red, blue, and yellow. Or how about the colors of light that we learned in our physics class, and how are minds were blown away with the colors being red, blue, and GREEN. The Lord of the Ring's Trilogy. The Three Musketeers and The Three Stooges.  3 Is A Magic Number is what we learned from Schoolhouse Rock. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.Triangles are the strongest geometric shape, forming a truss. The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:  "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out."

Five is just ridiculous after all.

Oh! But most importantly, the sacred Triforce in The Legend of Zelda.
