The Bermuda Triangle

[Misterian]

you may have heard of it, a triangular shaped area in the sea where bad mojo happens to any ship or plane that goes there? called the Bermuda Triangle.

there are people here who try to think up a completely logical scientific explanation. some say aliens control the area, some say it's something supernatural.

my theory?

I suspect the lost city of Atlantis might be in here. somehow, it just makes sense to me.

You know what I think? I think it's where Cthulhu sends all of his kids.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with Earth's magnetic field.

 

[ryai458]

joking? Its just a place with bad luck and worse weather.

EDIT:

Bah, beat me to it.

 

[Aesir23]

Atlantis? I thought that was supposed to be near the Pillars of Hercules.

Hmm, Bermuda triangle. I say that King Neptune lives there and pulls down any ships or airplanes with his godly powers simply because all the noise keeps him from getting enough sleep. He's a very lazy Roman God. How else do you think he got that beard if he wasn't too lazy to shave?

Statistically speaking there are less disappearances annually in the "Bermuda triangle" than anywhere else in the world, most of the ships reported to have disappeared there where never there to begin with and good lot more turned up in the end with reasonable explanations as to what happened, just look it up.

 

[Sassafrass]

There is no mystery.
Just me and a HUGE magnet.
Like 500 foot HUGE.

 

[Kriptonite]

Cthulhu, Neptune, Atlantis, and BigFoot are all down there having a never-ending party.

It's actually a trapezoid. That's why people get lost.

 

[YurdleTheTurtle]

My theory is that the Bermuda Triangle is actually an entrance to another dimension, where an alien race called the Watchers plot their invasion of our world. However, there are stranded humans, made up of survivors who 'crashed' into the Bermuda Triangle, who are trying to stop the Watchers.

Wait a minute...

There's no mystery.
There are no more ship wrecks or plane crashes in the triangle than anywhere else, statistics have proven this, it's just that people have decided there is some mystery and so whenever a plane crashes there they decide that it's the triangle that did it, but when a plane crashes anywhere else it's "just" a plane crash.

Bull. It's actually an octagon. As we all know, octagons are summoning circles for the dread space walrus, which accounts for the mystery.

Atlantis is actually (supposedly) beyond the Pillars of Hercules.

And there was a show on the discovery Science channel that theorized there may be a small wormhole/black hole causing all kinds of shenanigans both in the Bermuda Triangle and some place near Japan where stuff is said to have gone down.

 

[Spaghetti]

Surely it has to be the Monolith? Right at the centre of the Trinangle.

All the boats and planes fly into the swirly colourful hole in the space/time continuum. I bet if you get all the Black Box recordings together, they all end with the pilot saying "It's full of stars!"

 

[Supp]

That's right, the ancient Greeks went to North America, discovered an omnipotent civilization, then waited for it to sink into the ground and grossly misidentify its location.

Because when one myth isn't historically backed up, and another myth ignores statistics and listens to media frenzy, they must be connected.

I can't believe I didn't think of that!

No one's paying attention, it seems. Sad, that...

Shoot, I can't even think of a joke explanation. How do you give an explanation for something that's not actually a mystery?

"Everyone who disappears in the Bermuda triangle mysteriously gets a hankering for carne asada and goes to Mexico?"

Hm, let me think?
"The Bermuda Triangle is actually an interdimensional portal to Las Vegas. Why hasn't anyone ever said that? Because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."
