How come nobody ever hears about the Bermuda Triangle anymore ? When I was a kid (early 1970's), the very words "Bermuda Triangle" raised gooseflesh (which, having now typed it for the first time ever, sounds kind of illegal)upon mention. What happened ? El Nino ? UFO's got bored ?

What's your take on the phenomenon ?

I don't get all those hexes or myths aka Big Foot, The Abominal Snowman, Aliens.
Well actually I believe in Aliens, just not that they have landed on Earth. I mean, your trying to tell me that out of the whole universe, there is not one other living creature?
I mean they dont have to look like humans, they can just look like Dexter Coakley...
But I think the Bermuda Triangle has lost interest is because all those wimpy sailors are to wuss to go sail through it.
Or just the fact that no has died since like Amelia Airhart.

What about Sam Cassell? He's the closest thing to an alien I've ever seen.

The R&B singer, Brandy. Venus Williams (hey, her name is outta this world!!!) is right up there with her, as well.
As for TC's original question....
Wasn't the Bermuda Triangle replaced by "Hollywood Squares"? Talk about a freaky ocurrence.

I was serious. When I was younger, the Bermuda Triangle was the thing to mention when you wanted to tell a scary story. Backed up by shows like "That's Incredible !" in the mainstream media, there was no better source of terror this side of the BeeGees.
Suddenly, no more. The argument that no one flies there anymore doesn't hold water (no pun intended). It is a major commercial route.

i think life (teens shooting up schools, courts fighting over whether or not to starve a person, etc.) has become much more of a terror than the bermuda triangle. how can it compete with the six o'clock news?

I guess because nothing big has happened in the triangle, that I know of, in the past few years. It's a case of what have you done for me lately. If a plane or boat disappears with no trace you'll here all about it.

What a shame. Is it possible to draw a parallel here ? When I was in school, nobody brought guns in. (Well, they did. But it was for shock value only...nobody had to shoot the thing.) We were more or less talking about sitting in a hot station wagon for hours waiting to get gasoline or something similarly harmless. Bermuda Triangle ? Scary, yeah...but none of us were headed that way.
Today, they ask more of the students in 8th grade than they did of me while earning my assosciates degree in 1987. I'm not kidding.
Maybe, just maybe....we're dumping too much on their plates.
