The toilet, named “America” to symbolize American wealth and extravagance, was made by an Italian sculptor with $5 million worth of gold he apparently owned himself, and, after its stay at Guggenheim, was put on display in Blenheim Palace, an enormous and ornate pile built and decorated with slavery profits and the looted treasures of half the world. Self-organized proletarians, ie burglars, caught it up with it there and it has disappeared, apparently for good. Yep, little doubt that crapper went to the scrapper.

Watch them stroke out.
Surprisingly, this article on the Bermuda Triangle isn’t insane, but it does admit that this was solved in the 70s.
Pick any one of the more than 50 ships or 20 planes that have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in the last century. Each one has a story without an ending, leading to a litany of conspiracy theories about the disappearances in the area, marked roughly by Florida, Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles.
Australian scientist Karl Kruszelnicki, along with the United States’ own National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), don’t subscribe to the Bermuda Triangle’s supernatural reputation. Both have been saying for years that there’s really no Bermuda Triangle mystery. In fact, the loss and disappearance of ships and planes is a mere fact of probabilities.
“There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean,” NOAA wrote in 2010.
And since 2017, Kruszelnicki has been saying the same thing. He told The Independent that the sheer volume of traffic—in a tricky area to navigate, no less—shows “the number [of ships and planes] that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis.” He says that both Lloyd’s of London and the U.S. Coast Guard support that idea. In fact, as The Independent notes, Lloyd’s of London has had this same theory since the 1970s.

Military transport aircraft to symbolically fly over the Acropolis
This is a minor story, with three C-130s (one Greek and two US) and a Greek C-27 to overfly the monument as part of some exercise or other.
I was thinking that British transports would probably not be welcome unless they were bringing back the Parthenon (aka Elgin) Marbles, which Greece claims are rightfully theirs, having been bought cheap under very suspicious circumstances in the early 19th century. The British refuse to give them up, claiming that the price was fair and, besides the works are safer in London than at the site where they had suvived for 2200 years before being carted off.
Reminds me of a joke that is apparently common in Greece and India and that I actually heard in Egypt:

re: #33 nines09
Yes, but what about Lake Michigan Triangle
Michigan has the most lighthouses in the United States.
For some reason, the article included both sane and insane possible explanations, which they label “natural” and “paranormal.”
Natural
Many of the shipwrecks and ship disappearances in Lake Michigan have been blamed on wind waves. Due to the lake’s elongated shape and position, its shores are parallel and unimpeded, allowing the formation of dangerous currents including riptides and longshore tides. Additionally, the north-south orientation coupled with regular wind patterns allow waves to reach great heights.[7]Another common theory for the disappearances is magnetic anomalies caused by magnetic declination and magnetic deviation. Declination refers to the difference between true north and magnetic north, which differs depending on location. On average, Lake Michigan deviates four to five degrees westward. Deviations are errors induced in compasses by local magnetic fields. For example, if you were to hold a compass near a magnetic object, the needle would point towards the object instead of magnetic north. Although this would not be a problem in vehicles with other navigational equipment, it could cause confusion to inexperienced sailors and pilots.[7]
Paranormal
Conspiracy theorists have blamed the triangle on a negative energy vortex. Energy vortexes are the idea that certain locations emit sacred, powerful and transformational energy. Although vortexes are typically considered to promote positivity and healing, it’s claimed that vortexes with negative-energy also exist. These locations are purportedly sources of danger and malevolence. Ley lines, areas that intersect ancient structures and landmarks, are often cited as causes of energy vortexes. According to ley line maps, one runs down the middle of Lake Michigan.[7] Others attribute the triangle’s supposed vortex to a prehistoric structure under Lake Michigan discovered by archaeologists in 2007. The site is often referred to as the “North American Stonehenge.”[8]Others believe the occurrences in the Lake Michigan Triangle are caused by aliens, pointing to UFO sightings as evidence.[8]

re: #30 Crush White Nationalism
Before I shuffle off to bed, last night, the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind was mentioned in an earlier thread and of course, that film begins with the discovery of Flight 19 - five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on 5 December 1945 - in the Sonoran Desert, creating one of the finest opening sequences in almost any sci-fi film. And the fate of Flight 19 is a huge part of the so-called “Bermuda Triangle mystery”, probably one of the most famous incidents that comes up in any discussion of the Bermuda Triangle.
The only real mystery regarding Flight 19 is how on earth did they get so hopelessly lost. What was meant to be a simple and routine training flight that almost certainly ended up having to ditch somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, never to be found
There’s no aliens, or extradimensional portals, or death rays from Atlantis involved on this one. It’s just a tragic case of human error.

They christened it “the Casablanca Triangle” and went looking for mysteries.

A jury has found that former President Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll decades ago and then defamed her by denying it. It took just a little over three hours for the jury to come to a conclusion, which prompted legal experts to speculate it meant the jury agreed Trump was guilty. While the jury said that he didn’t “rape” her, they said she was sexually assaulted and awarded her $2 million.
