Inside the Bermuda Triangle

[Cleon]

According to http://www.thefreedictionary.com/weird --

"1. Of, relating to, or suggestive of the preternatural or supernatural."

So, I agree with you.

Oh, please.

If Quasar is correct in his assertion, why do you suppose it is that the "NTSB database searches reveal that in the last decade only a handful of aircraft disappearances have occurred off New England while over 30 have happened in the Triangle"?

I'm not convinced he is correct in his assertion. I've seen no evidence that it is correct.

Don't believe everything your mother told you.

I don't. Some of us manage to think for ourselves. You should try it sometime.

In your last post, you stated: "Today, countless ships, boats, and planes travel through the 'Triangle' every single day, and the number of disappearances - explained or unexplained - is practically zero." So, you've already shifted from "practically zero" to "pretty rare" -- I'm making progress!

You've got to be ****ing kidding me.

That remains to be seen but, in any event, unexplained ship and plane disappearances shouldn't be dismissed as nothing to get excited about just because they happen elsewhere.

Unexplained != unexplainable. Why this simple fact eludes you is a mystery to me.

When you can show me evidence that something other than normal natural forces have caused these disappearances, let me know. Until then, I have no reason to believe that's the case. In the "Triangle" or out of it.

Tell you what. I'm going on a cruise this March that passes through the Bermuda Triangle. I will bet you $500, United States Dollars, that the ship does not mysteriously disappear. (I'm sure we can find some trustworthy third-party individual to act as escrow, in the case I actually disappear--or, more likely, you don't pay up.)

In fact, I'm willing to bet we can find some other people willing to bump that sum up a little bit, if you can match it.

So how about it? Want to put your money where your mouth is?

That's very sporting of you, but the odds are somewhat tilted in your favor, even if there is a mysterious force that causes a disproportionate number of planes and ships to disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Keep your eyes open, though -- you might run across the Cyclops. I'm pretty sure it's in the Bermuda Triangle area, rather than the Norfolk area.
