Why we haven’t heard of the [Bermuda Triangle](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/662/has-anyone-vanished-in-the-bermuda-triangle-lately) recently… As you can logically deduce, the Bermuda Triangle is located in the Bermuda Triangle itself. That means, it is entirely possible that the Bermuda Triangle itself was a victim of its own phenomenon. In the mid-1980s the Bermuda Triangle completely disappeared without a trace! And, in clear weather! This shows you exactly how powerful the mysterious forces that operate in the Bermuda Triangle are. ---

Actually, I don’t believe that the BT has yet succumbed to itself…yet! I say this because just last week there were 2 shows on the BT on (IIRC) Science and the Green Channel (oddly enough), so it hasn’t completely disappeared. -XT ---

…i rather liked the idea that the villains of the piece were actually massive methane bubbles released from the sea floor like a phantom Kraken, swallowing up ships and poisoning aeronaunts in a single massive belch! Ah well, now all i gotta figure out is why the green triangles keep disappearing from the Quality Street tin. Hmmmmm… ---

How interesting synchronicity is… I was just speaking of this earlier with a friend of mine. I take this as a hint I should look into it further.
