This blog feature amusing and heartwarming stories about our late Leonberger dog Bronco, as well as other Leonbergers. It also has a lot of information about the Leonberger breed, the history, care, training, Leonberger organizations, etc. I also wrote a Leonberger book, which I am featuring in the sidebar.
Smorgasbord Blog Magazine Share Superfact 56 – The Bermuda Triangle the Big Non-Mystery
Imagine my delight when I saw the post above. Sally is sharing my super fact 56:
Super fact 56 : The Bermuda Triangle mystery is a myth. There is not a higher risk of disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. To be specific, disappearances do not occur in the so-called Bermuda Triangle, or Devils Triangle, with any higher frequency than in other comparable regions of the ocean. The “mystery” of the Bermuda Triangle is largely a manufactured one, perpetuated by sensationalized accounts that often misrepresent the facts and downplay the role of natural hazards like storms.
In addition, she is promoting my Leonberger dog book for which D.L. Finn wrote a great review. Thank you so much Sally and D.L. Finn. Please click the link and see the Smorgasbord blog magazine post.
The Bermuda Triangle: It is approximately defined as a triangle Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. There is no exact definition. Alphaiosderivative work: -Majestic-, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.
My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

The Bermuda Triangle has inspired generations of books, films, and speculation, yet when the sensationalism is stripped away, storms, currents, human error, and the sheer volume of traffic offer far more convincing explanations. I particularly enjoyed the photos 🙂 A great example of how separating fascinating facts from folklore can make a story even more interesting.
Oona: “The Bermuda Triangle, you say? Sounds like something that Oona needs to investigate.” Lulu: “But the story says it doesn’t even exis—” Oona: “OONA WILL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT!!!”
Oona you are a very good Ninja investigator. I am looking forward to hearing out what you find out. Lulu, I know what you are saying, but let see what Oona says.

i think that myths grow over time, are passed on and shared, and they take on a life of their own –

Yes I think you are right Beth. They capture your imagination and then with repetition they may become common beliefs.

I always thought it didn’t make sense. It makes for an interesting story premise, but not based on reality.
