born in captivity are shown at Taronga Zoo in Sydney in 2003. The task
of laying bare the platypus genome of 2.2 billion base pairs spread
across 18,500 genes has taken several years, but will do far more than
satisfy the curiosity of just biologists, say the researchers<span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span><br /><br />Arguably
the oddest beast in Nature's menagerie, the platypus looks as if were
assembled from spare parts left over after the animal kingdom was

scientists know why. According to a study released Wednesday, the
egg-laying critter is a genetic potpourri -- part bird, part reptile and
part lactating mammal.<br /><br />The task of laying bare the platypus
genome of 2.2 billion base pairs spread across 18,500 genes has taken
several years, but will do far more than satisfy the curiosity of just
biologists, say the researchers.<br /><br />"The platypus genome is
extremely important, because it is the missing link in our understanding
of how we and other mammals first evolved," explained Oxford
University's Chris Ponting, one of the study's architects.<br /><br />"This is our ticket back in time to when all mammals laid eggs while suckling their young on milk."<br /><br />Native
to eastern Australia and Tasmania, the semi-aquatic platypus is thought
to have split off from a common ancestor shared with humans
approximately 170 million years ago.<br /><br />The creature is so strange
that when the first stuffed specimens arrived in Europe at the end of
the 18th century, biologists believed they were looking at a
taxidermist's hoax, a composite stitched together from the body of a
beaver and the snout of a giant duck.<br /><br />But the peculiar mix of body features are clearly reflected in the animal's DNA, the study found.<br /><br />The platypus is classified as a mammal because it produces milk and is covered in coat of thick fur, once prized by hunters.<br /><br />Lacking teats, the female nurses pups through the skin covering its abdomen.<br /><br />But
there are reptile-like attributes too: females lay eggs, and males can
stab aggressors with a snake-like venom that flows from a spur tucked
under its hind feet.<br /><br />The bird-like qualities implied by its Latin
name, Ornithorhynchus anatinus, include webbed feet, a flat bill
similar to a duck's, and the gene sequences that determine sex. Whereas
humans have two sex chromosomes, platypuses have 10, the study showed.<br /><br />"It
is much more of a melange than anyone expected," commented Ewan Birney,
who led the genome analysis at the European Bioinformatics Institute in
Cambridge.<br /><br />The animal also possesses a feature unique to
monotremes -- an order including a handful of egg-laying mammals --
called electroreception.<br /><br />With their eyes, ears and nostrils
closed, platypuses rely on sensitive electrosensory receptors tucked
inside their bills to track prey underwater, detecting electrical fields
generated by muscular contraction.<br /><br />"By comparing the platypus
genome to other mammalian genomes, we'll be able to study genes that
have been conserved throughout evolution," said senior author Richard
Wilson, a researcher at Washington University.<br /><br />In captivity, platypuses have lived up to 17 years of age.<br /><br />In the wild, they feed on worms, insect larvae, shrimps and crayfish, eating up to 20 percent of their body weight every day.<br /><br />Males
grow to a length of 50 centimetres (20 inches) and weigh about two
kilos (4.5 pounds), with females about 20 percent shorter and lighter.<br /><br />The genome sequenced for the study belongs to a female specimen from New South Wales nicknamed Glennie infositehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15901648145710527453noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528669314913118915.post-7472257167949867692011-07-08T17:06:00.000-07:002011-07-08T17:06:25.865-07:009 Most Amazing Overlooked Mysteries in History<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span><span style="font-weight: normal;">In
the late 2nd century AD, the Greek writer Pausanias wrote an account of
how (4-500 years earlier?) in one night a powerful earthquake destroyed
the great city of Helike, with a Tsunami washing away what remained of
the once-flourishing metropolis.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">The
city, capital of the Achaean League, was a worship centre devoted to
the ancient god Poseidon, god of the sea. There was no trace of the
legendary society mentioned outside of the ancient Greek writings until
1861, when an archeologist found some loot thought to have come from
Helike - a bronze coin with the unmistakable head of Poseidon.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">In
2001, a pair of archeologists managed to locate the ruins of Helike
beneath the mud and gravel of the coast, and are currently trying to
peice together the rise and sudden fall of what has been called the
“real” Atlantis.</span></span></strong><br /><strong></strong></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span><span style="font-weight: normal;">This
mystery may even be a problem for those legendary investigators from
CSI and the like! The bog bodies are hundreds of ancient corpses found
buried around the northern bogs and wetlands of Northern Europe. These
bodies are remarkably well preserved, some dating back 2,000 years. Many
of these bodies have tell-tale signs of torture and other medieval
“fun”, which have made some researchers postulating that these
unfortunate victims were the result of ritual sacrifices.</span></span></strong><br /><strong></strong></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
Minoans are best known for the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur, but
it is in fact the demise of this once-great civilisation that is more
interesting. While many historians concentrate on the fall of the Roman
Empire, the fall of the Minoans, who resided on the island of Crete, is
an equal, if not greater mystery.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Three
and a half thousand years ago the island was shaken by a huge volcanic
eruption on the neighbouring Thera Island. Archeologists unearthed
tablets which have shown that the Minoans carried on for another 50
years after the eruption, before finally folding.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Theories
of what finally ended them have ranged from volcanic ash covering the
island and devastating harvests to the weakened society eventually
getting taken over by invading Greeks</span></strong></span><br /><span><strong></strong></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Everyone
has heard of Stonehenge, but few know the Carnac Stones. These are
3,000 megalithic stones arranged in perfect lines over a distance of 12
kilometers on the coast of Brittany in the North-West of France.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Mythology surrounding the stones says that each stone is a soldier in a Roman legion that Merlin the Wizard turned in to stone.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Scientific
attempts at an explanation suggests that the stones are most likely an
elaborate earthquake detector. The identity of the Neolithic people who
built them is unknown.</span></span></strong><br /><strong></strong></div>

<strong><span>5. Who Was Robin Hood ?</span></strong></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
The
historical search for the legendary thief Robin Hood has turned up
masses of possible names. One candidate includes the Yorkshire fugitive
Robert Hod, also known as Hobbehod or Robert Hood of Wakefield..<br /><br />The
large number of suspects is complicated further as the name Robin Hood
became a common term for an outlaw. As literature began to add new
characters to the tale such as Prince John and Richard the Lionheart the
trail became more obscure. To this day no one knows who this criminal
really was.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After
the Parthians defeated underachieving Roman General Crassus’ army,
legend has it that a small band of the POWs wandered through the desert
and were eventually rounded up by the Han military 17 years later.<br /><br />First
century Chinese historian Ban Gu wrote an account of a confrontation
with a strange army of about a hundred men fighting in a “fish-scale
formation” unique to Roman forces.<br /><br />An Oxford historian who
compared ancient records claims that the lost roman legion founded a
small town near the Gobi desert named Liqian, which in Chinese
translates to Rome. DNA tests are being conducted to answer that claim
and hopefully explain some of the residents’ green eyes, blonde hair,
and fondness of bullfighting.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
Voynich Manuscript is a medieval document written in an unknown script
and in an unknown language. For over one hundred years people have tried
to break the code to no avail.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">The
overall impression given by the surviving leaves of the manuscript
suggests that it was meant to serve as a pharmacopoeia or to address
topics in medieval or early modern medicine.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">However,
the puzzling details of illustrations have fueled many theories about
the book’s origins, the contents of its text, and the purpose for which
it was intended. The document contains illustrations that suggest the
book is in six parts: Herbal, Astronomical, Biological, Cosmological,
Pharmaceutical, and recipes.</span></span></strong><br /><strong></strong></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
An
amazing discovery of 2,000 year old mummies in the Tarim basin of
Western China occurred in the early 90s. But more amazing than the
discovery itself was the astonishing fact that the mummies were blond
haired and long nosed.<br /><br />In 1993, Victor Mayer a college professor
collected DNA from the mummies and his tests verified that the bodies
were all of European genetic stock.<br /><br />Ancient Chinese texts from as
early as the first millennium BC do mention groups of far-east dwelling
caucasian people referred to as the Bai, Yeuzhi, and Tocharians. None,
though, fully reveal how or why these people ended up there.</div>

The

culture that stretched from Western India to Afghanistan and a populace
of over 5 million. le—India’s oldest known civilization— were an
impressive and apparently sanitary bronze-age bunch.<br /><br />The scale of
their baffling and abrupt collapse rivals that of the great Mayan
decline. They were a hygienically advanced culture with a highly
sophisticated sewage drainage system, and immaculately constructed
baths.<br /><br />There is to date no archaeological evidence of armies,
slaves, conflicts, or other aspects of ancient societies. No one knows
where this civilization went.</div>

Sydney sits on the first chart of Top 10 <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">Best Cities to live</span> in 2011. The total population of the city is around 4,504,469, life expectancy is 80.73 years and it has Mercer Score 106.3. The city is recorded to be the 2<sup>nd</sup> richest city in the world base on Purchasing power <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">per capita</span> and the GDP of Australia is $494.6 billion last year. Sydney has nice climate and it has loads tourist objects.<br />
<br />

Fuel is any material that can be used to generate energy to produce mechanical work in a controlled manner. It’s also used in the cell of organisms in a process known as metabolism. The processes used to convert fuel into energy include chemical reaction such as combustion. Here is a list of the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD10">most unique</span> energy alternative to replace fuel.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>7. Compressed air</b></span><br />

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.<br />
<br />
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.<br />
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.<br />
<br />
The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.<br />
<br />
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.<br />
<br />
Both of their wives lost their children while living in the White House.<br />
<br />
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.<br />
<br />
Both were shot in the head.<br />
<br />
Both were shot with one bullet.<br />
<br />
Both were rumored to be killed in a conspiracy.Neither was confirmed to be a conspiracy.<br />
<br />
Lincoln was shot in the Ford Theater.<br />
Kennedy was shot in a card made by the Ford Motor Company (a Lincoln no less)<br />
<br />
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.<br />
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.<br />
<br />
Both were assassinated by Southerners.<br />
<br />
Both were succeeded by Southerners.<br />
<br />
Both successors were named Johnson.<br />
<br />
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.<br />
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.<br />
<br />
Their first names both contain six letters.<br />
<br />
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.<br />
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.<br />
<br />
Both assassins were known by their three names.<br />
<br />
Both names comprise fifteen letters.<br />
<br />
Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.<br />
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.<br />
<br />
Both assassins were assassinated before their trials.<br />
<br />
The only complete filming of Kennedy's assasination was shot by Abraham Zapruder.<br />
The only complete account of Lincoln's assasination was written by John Zelfindorfer.<br />
<br />
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was with friends in Monroe, Maryland.<br />
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with his friend Marilyn Monroe.<br />
<br />
Lincoln's last child, Tad, had his funeral held on July 16, 1871. Later he was exhumed and moved to a different grave site.<br />
Kennedy's son JFK Jr. was lost at sea on July 16, 1999. Later he was found, brought up, and then re-burried at sea.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Note:</span> 1 Note: It is an urban myth that Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. There is no record of that.<br />
<br />
2 Note: There is no record whether or not Kennedy's secretary warned him.<br />
<br />
3 Note: Booth actually fled to a farm and was killed in a tobacco barn. It might be a stretch to call it a warehouse.<br />
<br />
But two years after his death, Booth's body was temporarily moved to a warehouse. Also, after the assassination, the government closed the Ford Theatre and turned it into a warehouse.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Other interesting facts:</span><br />
Apparently Lincoln had a dream several days before the assassination that he had been killed.<br />
He told his wife that he had seen himself in a casket.<br />
<br />
Also, Lincoln's son Tad had a pet turkey named Jack. Tad asked his father not to kill the turkey for Thanksgiving.<br />
Although Harry S Truman started the official tradition, Lincoln was the first to "pardon" a Thanksgiving turkey.<br />
<br />
Now what would be real interesting is if Kennedy had a pet named Abe or had pardoned someone by that name. Thus far, I haven't heard of that. Skeptics disagree<br />
<br />
Some skeptics say that you could take any two famous people and find a number of similar-type coincidences between them.<br />
The only problem with that theory is that there really haven't been any listings of such comparisons.<br />
And certainly none has been as extensive as the Lincoln-Kennedy similarities.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Summary:</span><br />
Facts concerning the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy are amazingly similar. It is uncertain if such coincidences have any meaning, but they certainly are strangeinfositehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15901648145710527453noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528669314913118915.post-23896709811439292082011-05-31T17:58:00.000-07:002011-05-31T17:58:49.568-07:00World's 14 Fastest Cars - Speed Monsters<div>Neighbours envy, owner's pride'.

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">They say that 17 years ago, one Mujahid was shot dead behind this rock as he was hidden there. This encounter happened in the month of April 1989. You can see the fresh blood stains on the rock. Most surprisingly, when the rock raises from the ground, these stains become darker, fresher and wet. Local residents tried to wipe off the stains several times, but after some time it appears again on the rock automatically...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Isn't it astounding? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Have a look.... </span></div><br />

<br />
She and her unusual medical condition have been transformed into a holy shrine where worshipers come to watch in awe as blood drips from her eyelids several times a day. <br />

<br />
Doctors in the region of Patna, northeast India, have no medical explanation as to the cause of this most unusual anomaly, but local Hindu holy men have declared Rashida a miracle. Followers bow in deference as they stand before her, showering her family with holy offerings.<br />
<br />
"I do not feel any pain when it happens, but it's a shock to see blood instead of water," said Rashida of her most unusual situation.<br />
<br />
What could be the cause of this weird occurrence? Some have suggested a brain tumor or malfunctioning of tear ducts, but there is no medical evidence to support that. No one in authority in fact, seems to know or will even venture a guess, which is even more disconcerting than to watch the phenomenon, which occurs every few hours.<br />
<br />
Could Rashida be suffering from a case of a rare phenomenon known as Haemolacria? Little is known about this medical condition other than the fact that it occurs when a person produces tears, which are partially composed of blood. This can manifest as anything from red-tinged tears to those, which appear to be entirely blood.<br />
<br />
Bleeding from the eyes is most certainly weird and creepy.</div>infositehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15901648145710527453noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528669314913118915.post-27401986091170604762011-05-30T18:36:00.000-07:002011-05-30T18:37:33.941-07:00Great Picture In 1918I find it amazing that this photo, taken so many years ago, actually still exists! And now, someone has put it online for all of us to see.<br />
<br />
This INCREDIBLE picture was taken in 1918. It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge, in Iowa. EIGHTEEN THOUSAND MEN!!!!!<br />
<br />
What a priceless gift from our grandfather<br />

<br />
<span class="style105"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">1. PAMUKKALE - TURKEY</span><br />
The strange and weirdly beautiful terraced pools of Pamukkale have been appreciated for over two millennia and yet still remain a little known wonder of the world. Thousands of years ago earthquakes, which are common in Turkey, created fractures that allowed powerful hot springs to bring water rich in calcium carbonate to the surface. As the water evaporated the chalky material condensed and formed layer-upon-layer of Travertine and thus slowly built up the walls over time in the same way that a stalactite forms in a cave. Apparently Pammakale means Castle of Cotton but the Greco-Romans built a town above it called Heirapolis – meaning “Holy City” or “Sacred City”. They too recognised it as a rare and important place attributing healing powers to the milky-white waters. </span></span><br />

<span class="style105"><span style="color: black;">These large, spherical, alien and strangely beautiful boulders are mainly located on Koekohe Beach, part of the Otago coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Known as “Moeraki Boulders” they were originally formed on the sea floor from sedimentary deposits that accreted around a core in the same way that a pearl will form around a particle of sand. The erosion of the cliffs often reveals these boulders from the surrounding mudstone allowing them to join those already on the beach. Some of the larger boulders weigh several tonnes and can be up to three metres wide.</span></span><br />
<span class="style105"><span style="color: black;">Maori legend attributes their origin to the arrival of the first ancestors / giants who came in the great Araiteuru canoe which was sunk by three great waves at nearby Matakaea</span></span><br />

Beppu, located on the Japanese island of Kyūshū, is the second largest producer of geothermal water in the world. Located in the same area are the “Nine Hells” or ponds that each has its own remarkable character and colour thanks to the variety of minerals in the outflows. These “Hells” are a popular tourist attraction in Japan but are little known outside of the country. Seven of the strange geothermal springs are located in the Kannawa area and are known as: Sea or Ocean Hell (Umi Jigoku), Shaven Head Hell (Oniishibozu Jigoku), Cooking Pot Hell (Kamado Jigoku), Mountain Hell (Yama Jigoku), Devil or Monster Mountain Hell (Oniyama Jigoku,) Golden Dragon Hell (Kinryu Jigoku) and White Pond Hell (Shiraike Jigoku). Sadly, as with many incredible natural wonders, the area surrounding it has become over commercialised and “tacky”. </span></span><br />

At the summit of Mount Teide, one of the largest Island volcanoes in the World is the Las Cañadas caldera. The crater, which is an enourmous sixteen kilometres across, is a picture of what Hell might look like if it cooled a little. Sheer walls that formed when the caldera first collapsed encircle this dry and alien place. And, with an arrogance than can only be accepted as typical, humanity has built roads and observatories across this no mans land that is little more than a plug over a sleeping yet still active and very large volcano. When we visited it some years ago we were standing in the viewing gallery when the ground beneath our feet trembled and several windows suddenly cracked. The sleeping giant was grumbling in its sleep. The land mass created by the volcano is Tenerife in the Canary Islands.</span> </span></span><br />

<span class="style105"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">5. GREAT BLUE HOLE OF BELIZE</span> <br />
Found on both land and in the ocean throughout the Bahamas and the national waters of Belize are deep circular cavities known as Blue Holes which are often the entrances to cave networks, some of them up to 14 kilometres in length. Divers have reported a vast number of aquatic creatures some of which are still new to science. In addition, they’ve recorded chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites which only form in dry caves. For the explorers this was proof that at one time, nearly 65,000 years ago, when the world was in the grip of the last major ice age, the sea level of the Bahamas was up to 150 metres lower than it is today. Over time the limestone of the islands was eroded by water and vast cave networks created. When sea levels rose again about 10,000 years ago some of these collapsed inwards and the Blue Holes were formed </span></span><br />

Located in the Kara-Kum desert of Turkmenistan is the village of Darvaza (Derweze) near to where, in 1971, a team of Soviet prospectors allegedly drilled into a large chamber filled with natural gas. The roof of the cavern collapsed leaving a crater-like sinkhole some 25 metres deep with a diameter of approximately 60 - 70 metres. It soon became evident that natural gas was still rising into the crater from even deeper sources and the story goes that the decision was made to ignite the emissions rather than risk either a concentrated build-up of gas or local poisoning. According to various sources it has burned continuously since then and has apparently been named “The Gate to Hell” by the local people. However, another source that spoke with the guides from the region claims that it is a wholly natural phenomenon. </span></span><br />

<span class="style105"><span style="color: black;">Sanqingshan is a relatively small National Park near the city of Shangrao in the Jiangxi province of China. What it lacks in size it makes up for in shear natural beauty. It is officially the 7th World Heritage Site designated in China and has been noted for its exceptional scenic attraction. The key mystique of this remarkable place is the combination of extraordinary granite geology in the form of weird outcrops and pillars combined with seasonal climate variations than often cause mists, fogs and striking sunsets. Those that have visited this place describe a feeling of overwhelming peace and tranquility. This effect is enhanced by the profusion of natural waterfalls, pools and springs. If you allow yourself, it is truly possible to see Earth, Water, Wind and Fire joined in time. </span></span><br />

<span class="style105"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">8. EYE OF AFRICA - MAURITANIA</span><br />
From space this mysterious depression in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania really does look like a human eye. The image to the left is the "pupil" but a visit to Google Earth zoomed out a little will reveal the cliffs that make up the rest of the eye. This natural phenomenon is actually a richat structure caused by the dome shaped symmetrical uplifting of underlying geology now made visible by millennia of erosion. Please note that this explanation is not wholly accepted by the scientific community. There still remain academics that believe it is the sight of a meteor impact and yet others still that believe it resembles the formations caused by underground nuclear blasts. By the way, we estimate that the detonation would have had to be in the gigaton range. Currently no country in the world has a weapon even close to this destructive yield. </span></span><br />

<span class="style105"><span style="color: black;">This enchanting and little known island also known as Socotra is located off the coast of Yemen in the Middle East. Isolated from the rest of the world its plants have evolved into many bizarre shapes and forms that are unknown in other parts of the world. One of the most famous of these is the Dragon's Blood Tree the sap of which is used to make crystals that can be used as a dye or as an alleged aphrodisiac. The plant depicted on the right is the strange Desert Rose (Adenium obesium) but sometimes more popularly called the Elephants Leg Tree. The Island is slowly becoming known to the world and has great potential for eco-tourism as long as the visitors don't do more damage than good. Other species include the Cucumber Tree and the Socotran Fig. Suqatra was listed as a World Heritage Site in 2008. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="style105"><span style="color: black;">Located in one of the flattest places on the face of this planet are the strange and unexplained Sailing Stones of Racetrack Playa - Death Valley - California - USA. Once a year the "Playa" or flat desert pan experiences short winter rains and becomes slippery as the hexagonal desert floor turns back to mud. During this time the boulders and rocks move leaving clearly visible tracks behind them. Although scientists believe that high winds are responsible, some of the rocks will suddenly change directions and move at almost perfect right angles to their previous direction. All the evidence suggests that this is not a hoax although it is also said that the movement of these rocks has never been captured on film or video. In this technological age we wonder why long-term time lapse photography hasn't been used?</span> </span></span><br />

<span class="articleTitle">You won't find it on any official map and you won't know when you cross the line, but according to some people, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where dozen of ships, <a href="http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/airplane.htm"><span style="color: #005288;">planes</span></a> and people have disappeared with no good explanation. Since a magazine first coined the phrase "Bermuda Triangle" in 1964, the mystery has continued to attract attention. When you dig deeper into most cases, though, they're much less mysterious. Either they were never in the area to begin with, they were actually found, or there's a reasonable explanation for their disappearance.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #005288;">Bermuda Triangle Image Gallery</span></strong><a href="http://science.howstuffworks.com/bermuda-triangle-pictures.htm"><span style="color: #005288;"><img alt="bermuda triangle" class="article" height="235px" src="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/bermuda-triangle-13.gif" width="400px" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Bermuda Triangle covers roughly 500,000 square miles in the Atlantic Ocean. See more <a href="http://science.howstuffworks.com/bermuda-triangle-pictures.htm"><span style="color: #005288;">Bermuda Triangle pictures</span></a></strong></span><br />
<br />
Does this mean there's nothing to the claims of so many who have had odd experiences in the Bermuda Triangle? Not necessarily. Scientists have documented deviations from the norm in the area and have found some interesting formations on the seafloor within the Bermuda Triangle's boundaries. So, for those who like to believe in it, there is plenty fuel for the fire.<br />
In this article, we'll look at the facts surrounding what we do know about the area as well as some of the most commonly-recited stories. We'll also explore the bizarre theories like aliens and space portals as well as the mundane explanations. <br />
Many think of the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, as an "imaginary" area. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation. <br />
The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles. <br />
The area may have been named after its Bermuda apex since Bermuda was once known as the "Isle of Devils." Treacherous reefs that have ensnared ships sailing too close to its shores surround Bermuda, and there are hundreds of shipwrecks in the waters that surround it. </span><br />

Over the past 100 years, the Bermuda Triangle has seen what some say is a significant and inordinately high number of unexplained disappearances of planes, ships and people. Some reports say that as many as 100 ships and planes have been reported missing in the area and more than 1,000 lives have been lost. The U.S. Coast Guard, however, maintains that the area does not have an unusual number of incidents. <br />
In 1975, Mary Margaret Fuller, editor of "Fate" magazine, contacted Lloyd's of London for statistics on insurance payoffs for incidents occurring within the Bermuda Triangle's usually accepted boundaries. According to Lloyd's records, 428 vessels were reported missing throughout the world between 1955 and 1975, and there was no greater incidence of events occurring in the Bermuda Triangle than anywhere else in the world. <br />
Gian J. Quasar, author of "Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery" and curator of Bermuda-triangle.org, argues that this report "is completely false." Quasar reasons that because Lloyd's does not insure small crafts like yachts and often doesn't insure small charter boats or private aircraft, its records can't be the definitive source. He also states that the Coast Guard's records, which it publishes annually, do not include "missing vessels." He requested data on "overdue vessels" and received (after 12 years of asking) records of 300 missing/overdue vessels for the previous two years. Whether those vessels ultimately returned is unknown. His Web site has alist of these vessels. <br />
The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) database indicates (according to Gian J. Quasar) that only a handful of aircraft have disappeared off the New England coast over the past 10 years, while over 30 have occurred in the Bermuda Triangle. <br />

He instead says that disappearances in the Triangle are typically weather-related.

The mystery of the Triangle probably took hold with the first well-publicized disappearance in 1945, when five Navy Avengers disappeared in the area. The cause of the disappearance was originally "pilot error," but family members of the pilot leading the mission couldn't accept that he had made such a mistake. Eventually they convinced the Navy to change it to "causes or reasons unknown." <br />
The myth gained momentum after reporter E.V.W. Jones compiled a list of "mysterious disappearances" of ships and planes between the Florida coast and Bermuda. Two years later, George X. Sand wrote an article for "Fate" magazine, titled "Sea Mystery at our Back Door." The article was about a "series of strange marine disappearances, each leaving no trace whatever, that have taken place in the past few years" in a "watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico." <br />
As more incidents occurred, the reputation grew and past events were reanalyzed and added to the legend. In 1964, "Argosy Magazine" gave the triangle its name in an article titled "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" by Vincent Gaddis. Argosy magazine's tagline a "magazine of master fiction," but that did nothing to halt the spread of the myth. More articles, books, and movies have appeared, suggesting theories ranging from alien abductionsto a giant octopus. <br />
Next, we'll look at some early well-known incidents that have been attributed to the area. <br />

<span class="caption"><strong>The USS Cyclops anchored in the Hudson River on October 3, 1911.</strong></span></div>Many Bermuda Triangle Web sites include long lists of missing ships and planes. But many of those were nowhere near the Triangle when they disappeared or they turned up later with rational explanations for their disappearances. For example, the Mary Celeste, found floating in 1872 with not a person on board and everything exactly as they had left it, is on nearly every list of losses blamed on the Bermuda Triangle. But in reality, it was many hundreds of miles from the Triangle at the time. <br />
Here is a sampling of the some of the most notable incidents. As you'll see, some of these have reasonable explanations although they're still attributed to the strange and unknown powers of the Bermuda Triangle. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>The U.S.S. Cyclops, 1918</strong><br />
During World War I, the U.S.S. Cyclops served along the eastern coast of the United States until January 9, 1918. At that time, she was assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service. The Cyclops was scheduled to sail to Brazil to refuel British ships in the south Atlantic. She set out from Rio de Janeiro on February 16, and, after a brief stop in Barbados from March 3 to 4, was never seen or heard from again. All 306 passengers and crew were gone without a trace.<br />

<strong>U.S. Navy Avengers Flight 19, 1945</strong><br />
The most famous Bermuda Triangle story is the mystery surrounding five missing Navy Avengers in 1945. The story of Flight 19 is usually summarized this way: a routine patrol set out on a sunny day with five highly experienced student pilots. Suddenly, the tower began receiving transmissions from the flight leader that they were lost, compasses were not working, and "everything looked wrong." They were never seen again, and extensive Navy investigations turned up no clues to explain the disappearance.<br />
Lieutenant Charles C. Taylor led the mission, which included several planned course changes. They departed at 1:15 p.m. on December 5, 1945. At 3:00 p.m., Lieutenant Robert F. Cox was flying over Fort Lauderdale, Florida when he heard a signal that he thought was from a boat or plane in distress. He called Operations at the Naval Air Station to report what he had heard. Cox told Taylor to fly with the sun at his left wing and up the coast until he hit Miami. Taylor then said that they were over a small island with no other land in sight. If he was over the Keys as he had said, however, he should have seen several islands as well as the Florida peninsula. <br />
<div class="imageBox imageBoxRight" style="padding-bottom: 3px; width: 400px;"><img alt="bermuda triangle flight 19" class="article" height="248px" src="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/bermuda-triangle-14.gif" width="400px" /></div>With less than two hours' flying time until they ran out of fuel, Taylor described a large island to Operations. Assuming this was Andros Island, the largest in the Bahamas, Operations sent Taylor a heading that would take him to Fort Lauderdale. Apparently this heading was correct, because once Flight 19 assumed the new course, Taylor's voice began coming in stronger over the radio. Taylor, however, didn't believe this course was right and after a few minutes said that they "didn't go far enough east. Turn around again and go east. We should have a better chance of being picked up closer to shore." With this move, transmissions began to weaken as they flew out of radio range in the wrong direction. For unknown reasons, Taylor ignored the standard flying procedure of flying west if over water and east if over land. <br />
Two PBM-5 Mariner seaplanes went out to search the area, but one exploded soon after takeoff. The other never located Flight 19. <br />
<h1 class="articlePageTitle">Farfetched Theories</h1><div class="imageBox imageBoxRight" style="padding-bottom: 3px; width: 400px;"><img alt="bimini road atlantis stones" class="article" height="187px" src="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/bermuda-triangle-10.jpg" width="400px" /><br />
<span class="caption"><strong>The "Bimini Road," or the "Atlantis Stones," a rock formation off the coast of Bimini Island in the Bahamas.</strong></span></div><strong>Aliens and Atlantis</strong><br />
As an area with one of the highest incidences of UFO sightings, it's no wonder that alien abductions have been a popular explanation for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. But abductions aren't the only theory; some also have theorized that the Bermuda Triangle area is a portal to other planets. But why this area? <br />
Many believe that the Bermuda Triangle area is home to the lost city of Atlantis and remnants of its advanced technologies. Famous psychic Edgar Cayce said that Atlantis had many modern-day technologies, including a death ray weapon, which he claims ultimately destroyed the city. Some even say that the people who lived there were an alien race from the Pleiades star cluster. <br />
Cayce had predicted that researchers would discover the western edge of Atlantis near the coast of Bimini, in the Bahamas, and they did find a "road" of stones there in 1968. The initial researchers and archeologists who studied the site, known as the "Bimini Road," immediately regarded it as naturally occurring. Recent investigations, however, have found evidence that appears to support the idea that the stones were shaped and placed there as a wall. The additional finding of a possible underwater city near Cuba adds fuel to the fire for those supporting the Atlantis idea.<br />

</ul></div></td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
According to legend and speculation, the city of Atlantis relied on the power of special energy crystals that were extremely powerful. Cayce supported this idea, and the discovery of a great underwater pyramid and crystal by Dr. Ray Brown in 1970 reinforced it. Brown was scuba diving in the Bahamas when he claims to have found a large pyramid made of mirror-like stone. He entered the pyramid and saw a brassy metallic rod with a multi-faceted red gem hanging from the apex of the room. Directly below this rod was a stand with bronze hands holding a crystal sphere four inches in diameter. Brown removed the crystal and kept it secret until 1975, when he exhibited it at a psychic seminar in Phoenix, Arizona. He reported that when gazing into the crystal form, you can see three pyramidal images, one in front of the other with each decreasing in size. Some people have seen a fourth pyramid in front of the other three after entering into deep meditative states.<br />
Brown believes that the fractured lines seen when looking at the crystal sphere from the side may be electrical in nature, similar to a form of microscopic circuitry. The speculation is that these energy crystals are in an altered state of some kind and send out rays of energy that either confuse navigational instruments or disintegrate vehicles all together.<br />
<h1 class="articlePageTitle">Magnetic Abnormalities</h1><div class="imageBox imageBoxRight" style="padding-bottom: 3px; width: 200px;"><img alt="Book cover for 'The Fog'" src="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/bermuda-triangle-3.jpg" /><br />
<span class="credit"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Image courtesy </span><span style="color: #005288; font-size: x-small;">Amazon</span></span></div>"The Fog: A Never Before Published Theory of the Bermuda Triangle Phenomenon," by Rob MacGregor and Bruce Gernon include reports of an "electronic fog" that both men experienced while flying in the Bermuda Triangle. On December 4, 1970, Gernon and his father were flying to Bimini in clear skies when they saw a strange cloud with almost perfectly round edges hovering over the Miami shore. As they flew over it, the cloud began spreading out, matching or exceeding their speed. At 11,500 feet, they thought that they had escaped the "cloud," only to discover that it had formed a tunnel. It appeared the only way they could escape the cloud was to go through the tunnel. Once inside, they saw lines on the walls that spun in a counterclockwise direction. Gernon's navigational instruments went haywire and the compass spun counterclockwise. <br />
Gernon reported that he "realized that something very bizarre had happened. Instead of the clear blue sky that we expected at the end of the tunnel, everything appeared a dull, grayish white. Visibility appeared to be about two miles, but there was absolutely nothing to see - no ocean, no horizon, no sky, only a gray haze." <br />
When Gernon contacted Miami Air Traffic Control to get radar identification, the controller said that there were no planes on radar between Miami, Bimini and Andros. After several minutes, Gernon heard the air traffic controller report that a plane had been spotted directly over Miami. Gernon didn't think he could possibly be over Miami Beach, because it usually took 75 minutes to get to Miami and only 47 minutes had passed. At this same time, the cloud tunnel began to peel away in what he described as ribbons of fog. The instruments began operating normally and Miami Beach was directly below them. This loss of time, confirmed by their watches and the plane's clock, made Gernon believe that the electronic fog had time travel qualities. <br />

<span class="caption"><strong>Bruce Gernon, Don Pelz and other pilots have described emerging from a strange cloud tunnel while flying over the Bermuda Triangle.</strong></span></div>Gernon experienced the fog one more time in flight with his wife. Many other pilots have had similar experiences in the area. Gernon believes that powerful electromagnetic storms from within the <a href="http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/earth.htm"><span style="color: #005288;">Earth</span></a> break through the surface and come into the atmosphere where they soon disappear, leaving electronic fog. According to Gernon, a Swedish scientist has found that magnetism is weaker in the triangle than anywhere else on Earth, which may be why the fog happens more there than anywhere else.infositehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15901648145710527453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528669314913118915.post-76552155836324427242011-05-07T18:12:00.000-07:002011-05-07T18:12:58.704-07:00Highest Glass Floor of the World in Chicago USA<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjeDYM8XGynavvO8clm06Z8D33X5308E6WRkFBO49V3vLsAnIefMd1Z9y6hs-eDsvKVgtNXfafzfIMkBH9_oiI_bQydgy7ZpFE7qGTR5aIML4-9Kw94oSacczyJIMsRPttm3qsEpv8n6m/s1600-h/Highest-Glass+Floor-of-the-+World1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381004062644008018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjeDYM8XGynavvO8clm06Z8D33X5308E6WRkFBO49V3vLsAnIefMd1Z9y6hs-eDsvKVgtNXfafzfIMkBH9_oiI_bQydgy7ZpFE7qGTR5aIML4-9Kw94oSacczyJIMsRPttm3qsEpv8n6m/s400/Highest-Glass+Floor-of-the-+World1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 272px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>If you're scared of heights, it may be time to look away now.<br />
