Why are they all triangles, the Bermuda Triangle, the Alaska Triangle, the Great lakes Triangle?

[doc03]

Why not squares or circles. Then there is the so-called reality shows like Moonshiners, it is against the law and these guys are on national TV where everyone can see them making moonshine and breaking the law, really?

2. Sounds more mysterious.

Bermuda Blob would not attract as much attention.

3. I dunno, try asking the people in the village triangle.

4. Because it's the same shape as the hats that believers wear

6. Best answer so far, lol.

5. Its better than quadrilateral

Triangles only 3 points and angles don't matter.

7. Might have originated with the legends of the Dragon Kings who controlled the seas ...

and the general area of the Mariana Trench.

The origin of the word dragon is supposedly rooted in ''keen sight, vigilance.''

''The Dragon's Eye symbol is an isosceles or equilateral triangle pointing downward, with a "Y" in the middle connecting the three points of the triangle together. According to Carl G. Liungman's Dictionary of Symbols, it combines the triangle meaning "threat" and the "Y" meaning a choice between good and evil.[2]''

A mash-up of legends and Dragon symbolism.
