        No, there were four Three Stooges, although there were six
Stooges.

        I considered stopping there, but I suppose I should explain.
Larry and Moe were members of each Three Stooges, but the third Stooge
varied:  Shemp, Curly, Joe Besser, or Curly-Joe.

Well, that settles the issue.  If it's good enough for the Stooges, it's
good enough for me. Nyuk, nyuk.

BTW, there were actually six Three Stooges.
