Yeah, the triangles don’t disappear. Things *in* the triangles disappear …. which could be a set up for a dirty joke….
I liked the disappearing Bermuda triangle.
Shouldn’t Vera be a line?
CaroZ, good point, but you can see that they’re not in Flatland.
@ woozy – Yes – better if the beach towels themselves had been different basic shapes, with our newly-widowed hero lying on a triangular one (wearing Bermuda shorts as well). In the distance there could be a playground comprised of Platonic solids.
Yeah, I also was looking for some Bermuda shorts.
(Whoa, my emoji utility was trying to insert a flag! Bermuda 🇧🇲)
I think the wife should have been a degenerate triangle (otherwise known as a line segment) but probably only math geeks would appreciate it.
Is that an Arctic Circle in the background?
The Bermuda Triangle is my favorite debunked myth. Unlike UFOs, ghosts, homeopathy, etc., it requires no Occam’s razor, no exposing of hoaxes, no critical examination of claims. Why do ships and planes disappear in that one place more than anywhere else? They just don’t. That’s it. The open sea is a dangerous place, and ships and planes sometimes go into the drink. Statistically, the Caribbean is no better or worse than anywhere else.
And Tiananmen Square to the left.
“it requires no Occam’s razor, … Why do ships and planes disappear in that one place more than anywhere else? They just don’t. That’s it.”
Isn’t that the epitome of Occam’s razor? The simplest explanation requiring the fewest assumptions needed is… nothing?
woozy: there’s nothing to explain, so Occam’s razor says that invoking Occam’s razor is one step too many.
Occam’s razor says that this thread shouldn’t exist!
Platonic solids?
Can’t they be more than just friends?
Platonic? Did someone say/write platonic?? What a sequé . . .
We have been going through a period of craziness with things being needed to be done over again, crazy tasks & problems popping up (took me 3 tries at filing our reenactment unit’s, a TE, not for profit, federal return online – the only way it can be filed, before I realized that it was not due to a connection breakdown problem that I could not file it – but a government shut down problem when I tried in January) and things disappearing in the house.
My desk scissors were missing for two months. We both looked everywhere for them – emptied out the drawer they belong in a couple of times, looked in the other drawers, looked in Robert’s area of the office including the drawers he has, climbed all over the office floor looking (spent a lot of time crawling on the office floor looking for missing stuff lately) and looked any and everywhere else in the house we could think of . He kept pushing me to buy a new pair, but I refused. Suddenly I sat at my desk one day, opened the drawer to get something else – and there was it was – back where it belonged. My diabetes meter disappeared for two weeks (I used a spare we have in the interim) and then one day it was back on my dresser. This has happened with several other items also. Unfortunately my small Olfa knife from the kitchen has not reappeared, but that disappeared a couple of years ago at this point. Robert commented on this online in a group he is in and was told that we have borrowers – little beings that come, borrow things and then return them – like in the children’s books. Only thing we can figure.
