Bermuda Triangle Solved

[JasonPratt]

I'd sooner believe it is a giant flying chocolate Jesus than anything posted in the NYPost.

To be fair, the Post just picked up someone else's story.

That someone else being The Sun apparently. Other articles originally posted at The Sun, according to the sidebar, include paranormal explorers finding a crystal pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle; UFO wreckage proving aliens visited Earth; aliens trying to make contact with Earth; and a noisy UFO flying over Geneva.

To be fair, this article is soberly scientific.  O:-)

That said, the microburst explanation, while admirably covering a lot of data, doesn't fit planes dropping altitude in (basically) clear skies or ships going down in frothing seas. Those seem more like rising bubble effects, like large clouds of sulfur or methane.

That said, somewhere there's an article I've read many times (though I no longer have the book) that examined the famous training flight of torpedo bombers that vanished, and reconstructed what happened in enough detail to explain it sufficiently as a fast moving air front coming in from an unexpected direction, screwing up their navigation and leaving them out of fuel ditching in the coastal swamps. So for that most famous incident, nothing especially exotic.

It's been pretty widely covered beyond just the Sun and NY Post.

Heck, NBC and CNN ran it too. Not that I consider either of those reliable news sources.

I could never eat Chocolate Jesus.

[bbmike]

Unless it had a peanut butter center.

[mirth]

Well yeah. Then I definitely could.

You know you're going to hell.
I'll miss you.

[mirth]

See you when you get there!

[besilarius]

Well, as every sailor knows there is a special place in hell for khaki wearing water tenders.

[Gusington]

I think I may have been in Hell for the last 10 years and didn't even realize it. It's not that bad.

And who doesn't enjoy a giant flying Jesus?

The goddamn Flying Spaghetti Monster.  That's who. 

Peace Be Upon His Noodly Appendages.
