I seriously doubt this, for there were more than Three Stooges: there were 
six. After Moe, Larry and Curly, there's Shemp (my fave, an original Stooge 
before he left the act for a solo career and was replaced by Curly), Joe 
Besser and Curly Joe DeRita. Can anyone honestly say that most young 
Americans know all this? Hell, I'll bet the majority don't even know who 
Larry was.

Actually, Moe, Larry and Curly would be better names for the three branches 
of govt.
