Science Disproving Myths & Legends. Are We Losing Something?
I watched a show last night on discovery where they were able to disprove all the myths around the Bermuda Triangle to all but the "die hards"
When I was watching I was fasinated how modern science was able to show what happened, then I thought perhaps it is a little sad?
There are simply no myths left, are there?
I watched a show last year where the deep scanned the whole of the Loch Ness to dis prove that.
The Shroud of Turin was also busted recently when they were allowed to carbon date it..
Obviously there is the Bible, but will leave that there, before the religious crowd come out..
clairvoyants who have agreed to be tested have all failed, so much so a 1 million prize tag remains unclaimed.
Lets have a list of Myths that have not been solved. I appreciate there will always be people who dont accept the science.

Arrogant ass
I wouldn't say arrogant, however it is surprisingly pert.
Religious nut reads one book and think they know everything.

On the other though, there still are lots of mysteries out there, and some of them are still live, too. The main source of mystery these days is conspiracy theory, of which there are plenty kicking about. Mad oddities do surface some times, too. The spiral in the sky above somewhere in Scandinavia is one that springs to mind, and there have been various accounts of unrecognisable monsters washing up dead on various beaches. There's also still an active and interesting mystery surrounding the paranormal, in terms of psychic ability and the collective unconcious, too.
Hit youtube. Search for mysteries. There are tonnes of paths to follow in there that can take you through some crazy alternative solutions and mysteries. I was watching a feature on the hollow earth theory yesterday, and that's something I'd definitely recommend you search for.
Milk or plain chocolate Jaffa Cakes?
Hang on... is this a trick?... There is a myth that they are not cakes, but they are biscuits.

@fanpages I never thought about it like that, a myth within a myth. Hmm (they are milk chocolate though) I'll need to work this out.

Cakes go hard when they're off, biscuits go soft.
Jaffa Cakes go hard, therefore they are cakes. VAT is payable on chocolate covered biscuits but not chocolate covered cakes, so a lucky escape for Jaffa there!
The Oak Island Money
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Island
What is buried they no one know many say it is William Shakespeare's lost works.Some say the Chalice is there and others say it was the treasure of captain Kidd.One thing we all know is that whoever built it was extremely clever that even todays technology can't retrieve whats down there.
If you have never heard of Oak Island you will now be hooked sorry lol

I'm religious but one of the biggest criticisms of faith groups has long been their self righteous, my way or the highway approach. Nice to see therefore you indulge in just the same kind of conduct by telling people what they should or shouldn't believe in. If it's not someone preaching about what I should believe in, it's someone preaching about what I shouldn't.
I'd never tell anyone what they should and shouldn't believe, that's their own business. All I'm saying is you would have to be a complete and utter **** idiot to believe it.

Cheesecake goes soft, but the biscuit base goes hard.
Myths are confusing.
All the things you mentioned, Bermuda, Turin, Nessie, Bigfoot etc are silly since they are mostly fakes and forgeries based on folklore and old wives tales, which in my opinion makes them dull, pointless and a massive waste of time. Of course I would love to find that nessie is real, but with zero evidence to support it thus far I'm not wasting any more time getting my hopes up. The truth and the path to find it is a billion times more fascinating.

I'm religious
