 :1:Too much has happened in the Bermuda Triangle to not have some truth to the legend.  We humans do not know everything, and make the mistake sometimes of trying to state facts on our limited knowledge.  There is a lot to be learned yet..after all DNA just recent.  I think in time they may find out is some time of strange gravitaional pull.

Yes, I agree that many strange happenings occur in that area of the world. Scientific knowledge is absent to conclude even a reasonable explanation. As you indicate, the future may well depict an uneven gravitational field that skews the normal geophysical properties thus confusing the best of man-made instruments.

Nota, the problem with legends such as this is just that...they are legends.

"There are some skeptics who argue that the facts do not support the legend, that there is no mystery to be solved, and nothing that needs explaining.The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives. Many of the ships and planes that have been identified as having disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle were not in the Bermuda Triangle at all. Investigations to date have not produced scientific evidence of any unusual phenomena involved in the disappearances. Thus, any explanation, including so-called scientific ones in terms of methane gas being released from the ocean floor, magnetic disturbances, etc., are not needed. The real mystery is how the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery at all."

It's Bush and cheney, I'm telling you. Even though they weren't even born when many of the disappearances took place.

Cow farts caused the triangle of death.

Dung beetles have built cities on the sea bottom, and they needed the dung from cows to eat down there.

The cows, however, produced 'way too much gas, and 'way too little fecal matter.

This caused the dung beetles to become predators.

Using the cow farts, they built flotation devices to drift to the surface and attack ships.

From there, it was just a small step to building dirigibles filled with the methane, floating up to the planes flying over, and voila, planes disappear.

That's what I like about you, villian.

Simplicity. No humor unless it is yours.

Wanting so desperately to be the "wise old man of the forum."

It was a harmless piece of fluff humor. Geez. Got no heart?

Don't think so. Just lots of superficial verbiage.

Why do you troll Bo D?

I truly feel sorry for you.

It is as if you have been deeply embarrassed by an intellectual shortcoming at one time or another, and have to launch into some lengthy diatribe that is completely different from other posts you make. Apparently, you think this makes you sound very intellectual.

Well, it does. You are my hero.

There, does that help?

As far as my posting is concerned, I have no reason to defend what I do or don't say, and I d*mn well don't need your permission to say or do what I wish.

Most of the postings that I have considered making would certainly meet with a flame war response by the giants who have apparently crowned themselves kings of conservatism. No sense posting something which simply would be ridiculed with no thought by people who attack others' parenting skills, etc.

I choose not to engage those fools. Nothing can be accomplished by that debate.

You drop into verbiage mode to puff your posts so to be thought of as a gifted intellectual. Or you name drop about all the important folk you know in positions of power, etc.

Thought you had a sense of humor. Goes to show I'm not always right.

Oh, and thanks for the childish smiley.

Proves my point. No heart. Probably spend your off time trying to think up people to smack with negative points. An old man that never matured. Sad. Would expect that kind of behavior from a much younger person.

Don't waste sleep or brain cells over it.

Not worth it.

Theories of the Bermuda Trianglehttp://byerly.org/bt.htm

Countless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most practical seem to be environmental and those citing human error. The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique environmental features.

It has been said that the "Devil's Triangle" is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this is the case and a compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.

Another environmental factor is the character of the Gulf Stream. It is extremely swift and turbulent and can quickly erase any evidence of a disaster. The unpredictable Caribbean-Atlantic weather pattern also plays its role. Sudden local thunder storms and water spouts often spell disaster for pilots and mariners. Finally, the topography of the ocean floor varies from extensive shoals around the islands to some of the deepest marine trenches in the world. With the interaction of the strong currents over the many reefs the topography is in a state of constant flux and development of new navigational hazards is swift. Not to be under estimated is the human error factor. A large number of pleasure boats travel the waters between Florida's Gold Coast and the Bahamas. All too often, crossings are attempted with too small a boat, insufficient knowledge of the area's hazards, and a lack of good seamanship.
