How come when I was a kid in the 70's there was all this talk about the weirdness of the Bermuda Triangle and now it never ever gets mentioned anywhere at all? Did people quit flying over it or what?

In a spooky coincidence Freaky Trigger talked about this yesterday.

Mrs Vague was born in Bermuda. She doesn't have any mysterious powers, except the ability to put up with me.

No-one cares about UFOs anymore either.

and that's exactly the attitude the aliens have been waiting for us to adopt. then they attack. I hope you're all happy about that.

We decide to get away
And have some fun
Book a room and catch a flight
For two weeks in the sun
She says, "Hawaii's too expensive."
I say, "Barbados isn't bad."
She says, "I'd love to see Bermuda"
And I say, "Woman, are you mad!"

Bermuda Triangle
It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle
Don't go too near
But she
Doesn't see my angle
And she thinks I'm being dumb
So Bermuda Triangle
Here we come!
Lying with my woman on
The island sand
I look up and see her with
A stranger, hand in hand
I see her sitting on his blanket
I see them going for a swim
And when I run to find my woman
I find her running after him!

Bermuda Triangle
Makes my woman disappear
Bermuda Triangle
Don't go too near
Looking
At it from my angle
Do you see why I'm so sad
Oh Bermuda Triangle
Very bad!
Lying lost and lonely on
The island sand,
When a lovely stranger says
Hello and takes my hand
And soon she's sitting on my blanket
And then we're going for a swim
When I say, "What about your boyfriend?"
She turns and waves goodbye to him!

Bermuda Triangle
It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle
Don't go too near
But look
At it from my angle
And you'll see why I'm so glad
Now Bermuda Triangle
Not so bad!
Everybody
Bermuda Triangle
It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle
Don't go too near
But look
At it from my angle
And you'll see why I'm so glad
Now Bermuda Triangle
Not so bad!

This still gets thrown in as a plot to kids shows' every once in a while, like "Tale Spin" had an episode about the mysteries of this polygon.

I love how the only people into any of this stuff --- Atlantis, Bermuda triangle, ufologists --- are either fringe loonies or obsessed fringe skeptics debunking all this stuff no one cares about anymore (I'm looking at YOU, James "The Amazing" Randi, you adorable little doll of a tiny old man!).

he neutrality of this article or section may be compromised by "weasel words".

art bell had a show about the bermuda triangle - he concluded it was probably a drug front hoax!

this shit always comes and goes in waves of popularity and interest.

fun fact: UFO sightings were at an all-time low after Close Encounters came out.
