<br>Anyways,they've already told me about how the moon landings were faked from a studio on the moon, and that the Kennedy Assassination was a cover-up for the Space Aliens building the pyramids. Of course, it all really came down to 9/11, when the CIA and the KGB collaborated to cover up a massive Alien Abduction scandal...<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Umm. This is very
OT, but the best explanation of the Bermuda Triangle is that it doesn't exist.
That is to say, given the size of the area and the amount of traffic moving
through that it, the number of ships and airplanes that have disappeared
'without a trace' is not unusual. Also please to note that the most
famous case ( the 5 Navy airplanes on a training mission in 1945) vanished in a
heavy storm with only a single compass between all of them. It could be
that Space Aliens snatched them away, or that they flew into an enormous
Chrono-Synclastic Infindibulum, or a Giant Gas Bubble consumed them, but I
think it more likely that they got lost, ran out of fuel, and fell into the
sea. Even over dry land, a surprising number of civil aviation flights
vanish when their pilots fly into the terrain without contacting anyone. Of
course, if you ignore Occam's Razor then all these theories are equally
plausible. <br>
<br>
I googled up a good summary of the skeptical point of view on the (alleged)
mystery of the Bermuda Triangle in about two minutes ( <a href="http://www.skepdic.com/bermuda.html" target="_blank">http://www.skepdic.com/bermuda.html</a>
).<br>

one on theo Discovery/TLC shows at least a year ago, which means it had to have
been published a year before that. I wonder why this is suddenly popped
back up?<br>
