The 'Lake Michigan Triangle' Mystery

[KLA2]

For our Michigan members - you do not have to go to Bermuda!

The Lake Michigan triangle is said to have similar characteristics of the Bermuda Triangle and is said to be a place of ghost ships, strange disappearances and even UFO sightings.

"There's been some strange disappearances out there, there's been many ships that have been lost that haven't been found."

Bill Wangemann is a historian from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. He's spent a lifetime gathering tales about the Lake Michigan triangle ...

Yep. This is told to all the little kids in MI who get into this sort of thing when they're 10 years old. Most grow out of it when they discover girls, though.

And no, Enzo and I have nothing to do with those disappearances. We weren't testing Death Ray prototypes on any of those dates. Really we weren't. You don't believe us? Where you at? Huh? Where?

I guess we should ask what is inadequate about the hypothesis, "there are a lot of storms on Lake Michigan"?

[KLA2]

Storms, sure. But what about them ghost ships and UFO's, huh? Huh? :P

Isn't that Superior?

[troubleagain]

Superior to what? :wink:

[Enzo]

Yeah, I just like the sound of it.

[KLA2]

Superior to what? :wink:

Superior being, as in an old American Indian god, as opposed to a Supreme being, as in Diana Ross. :wink:

[Enzo]

Diana Ross sank the Edmund Fitz?

What has Enzo been up to?

Looks like his experimental playing field for sub marine cricket / croquet, to me ... could become a national sport, but I wouldn't hold my breath ... 8)

That's no Mastodon. That's a self-portrait of Enzo titled "Just Glad to See You".

Go ahead, mock. Those ancient native American Druids built that on the bottom of the Lake to predict eclipses and solstices, or perhaps high tides.

I am trying to imagine when they could have built that. During the ice age, they would have been scoured away by the glacial ice - the glaciers that carved the lakebed out of bedrock in the first place. When the glaciers receded, it was by melting. The lakebeds would be full of water. I was not aware of a period where the lakes were dug out but empty. In fact, as the glaciers receded, until the St.Lawrence opened up, the lake levels were much higher than they are today. Ancestral lake Erie covered about half of Ohio.


If I had to guess what that was, I'd say it was the loose crap in a lake atop or within the glacier. When the glacier melted away (they don;t back up when they recede) this stuff dropped to the floor of the lakebed. The circular pattern would be from the more or less circular shape of the glacier surface melt pond. I forget the name of this sort of thing, my geomorphology classes were 40 some years ago. I am more familiar with kames and eskers and drumlins.

^ Well analyzed and said, Enzo. 8)

Suuuurrre ... what fun is that? You need to come up with some sort of theory about aliens, ancient advanced cultures and Bigfoot (Bigfeet? A whole community of them?) in order to get any interest in this subject, you know?

Science ... bah!

FIne...

There was an advanced race of aliens who lived here before the glaciers came. They saw the glaciers coming and installed a protective force dome over their most holy stone shrines, before leaving the Earth to return in the far future. This protected the shrines from the glaciers, but they then fell through to the floor of the lake.

The aliens had left behind their race of large work creatures to tend the machinery until they returned. We occasionally see one of these creatures and we call them bigfoot. They did an admiral job - at the zenith of job performance, I'd say - (Oh GEee, admiral...zenith... Brands of TVs??? Admirable/admiral?) - of caring for the force dome, and it landed the shrine on the floor of Lake Michigan intact. But now out of reach of the caretaking bigfoots. Over time the force dome failed and eroded away, leaving the shrine in the water on the lake bed.

To this day, the bigfoots remain, but they are very embarassed they have not been able to care for the shrine, so they hide. That is why we don;t often see the elusive creatures.

But they are a creature who loves a good time, and every now and then we catch a glimpse of them out and about driving tiny cars and playing brass band instruments while all dressed in feathered costumes.

We call them...


Shriners.

[Blue Monster 65]

Ooof!

Even with all the time I've known you, I did NOT see this one coming. That was quite the build up.

Sigh ...

The long winter nights are obviously taking their toll ...

Shrine on, baby. 8)
