Why This Can't Be News:

Oh boy, it looks like we've got a real-life Sherlock Holmes over here claiming to have solved the Bermuda Triangle mystery! Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki, an Australian scientist (because, of course, Australians are experts on everything), is now saying that probabilities are the leading cause of all those spooky disappearances. Yeah, because that's exactly what we needed - more math-y nonsense to explain away our collective imagination.

I mean, come on, who needs aliens or Atlantis when you can just blame it all on statistics? "Oh, it's just a big ol' probability soup in there!" says Dr. Kruszelnicki. Meanwhile, I'm over here thinking, "Uh, maybe it's because pilots and sailors are really bad at their jobs?" But no, let's not go down that road - we'd rather blame the weather (gasp!) or a wonky magnetic compass (yawn). The thrill is gone, folks!

And don't even get me started on NOAA and Lloyd's of London jumping on this "it's all just probabilities" bandwagon. I'm sure it has nothing to do with not wanting to fuel the public's imagination with fantastical tales of sea monsters or cursed treasure maps. Nope, it's just a big conspiracy... of boring, logical explanations! yawn Can we get back to the X-Files already?
