The origins of this board truly fascinate me because I remember lurking many years ago on the WC board, getting out of wrestling a bit and eventually finding this and realizing it they were the same so I obviously missed several years worth of time. I often wonder, if WC was such an issue, why the owner or biggest mod(s) of the FAN board didn't just break off completely and start their own forum void completely of any WC history.

The Bermuda Triangle includes Bermuda, and it is a triangle, but nothing particular weird or out of the ordinary occurs there.

Not quite a myth as it definitely happened, but Van Halen requesting bowls of M&M's with the brown ones removed is usually used as an example of a bunch of spoiled rock stars behaving like princesses.
In reality it was a really clever way of making sure the promoter had read their rider, more for the technical requirements of the show than for their vanity.

Yeah, it's the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world. the Amount of "disappearances" in the Triangle are roughly the same percentage of missing ships and such as anywhere... there are just MORE ships and planes going through it.

I actually said it because it reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson in Top Gear trying to cross the Channel in an amphibious car and saying “it’s the busiest shipping channel. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In the world”

I remember it was this and making sure the promoter read ALL of the contract. It's honestly really clever. I'm glad I learned about it that way instead of learning it through the "behaving like princesses" nonsense.

The Philadelphia Experiment urban legend is likely a misunderstanding of degaussing procedures on ships to prevent their hulls from attracting magnetic mines.
High altitude bear species are the most likely origin of yeti myths and sightings.
The Kelly-Hopkinsville, Flatwoods and Mothman alien/monster sightings were probably barn owls.

People still think Shawn Michaels threw Marty Jenny through a window when that coward was clearly just running for his life. Do not listen to this fountain of misinformation.

So when RD made the Basketball Jones gag in order to even get the joke you had to get the reference to a Cheech & Chong song from the 70s. That's a pretty high bar of entry for a place where the majority had joined to talk about current wrestling.

it was a combination of things, the boards became their own entity Thanks for the write up. Like I said, the origins of this board really do fascinate me.

Yeah, it's the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world. the Amount of "disappearances" in the Triangle are roughly the same percentage of missing ships and such as anywhere... there are just MORE ships and planes going through it. I remember seeing a video where someone drew a similarly-sized triangle off the coasts of Spain & North Africa and found just as many historical shipwrecks and disappearances as in the Bermuda area, including the infamous Marie Celeste. Speaking of which, contrary to popular belief, neither the Marie Celeste nor Amelia Earhart were anywhere near the Bermuda Triangle when they disappeared.

Well yeah, but that ignores the signed toilet paper sold for money and the resulting buyer being able to act however the f*** they want on the forums.

Despite being contained in a package that says Original Skittles, Green Apple Skittles are not Original Skittles. They replaced Lime. And people should be in jail for that decision.
