"Earth's Black Hole"

Boy, am I disappointed with the History Channel. In this wonderful piece I saw some parts of last night, they seriously suggest that there is a black hole in the Bermuda Triangle. I am smart enough to notice that they start every other sentence with "some people believe," but I also remember what it was like to be a young person, interested in science and old enough to watch the History Channel but too young to pick up on weasel phrases like this. I can just imagine how many kids are in school today saying "I heard there's a black hole in the Bermuda Triangle."

I mean, they sent a camera crew out on a boat with a guy who had invented a magnetic anomaly measurement device that he seriously called a "BTD" (Bermuda Triangle Detector). It some flashing lights and a buzzer that went off now and then but no other readout of any kind. I changed the channel before I could hear this guy's conclusions.

Those crazy turtles

Apparently the situation depicted by the photo in my last post is not atypical. Walking past the same pond today I noticed no fewer than five turtles all trying to sun themselves on the same rock. They were climbing up on top of each other, knocking each other into the water... it seemed pretty frustrating for them.

As Forrest Gump said, I guess sometimes there just aren't enough rocks.

How did I get here?

Seen on campus today. Not sure what is going on, but it doesn't look too comfortable.
