We have this TRIANGLE thing that has caused many a plane and boat to vanish... and not during any recent wars, either.

About the "black box" being orange... Way back in 1962, a bunch of us formed a skirmish line-type formation in certain forest in Germany to search for one type black box before it wound up in the wrong hands of the comrads who were flying the craft on their way to a gathering... We were told to look for "orange" box as we moved forwars at arm's length of each other. Messy sight... though the sweetbeets farmers got there before anyone else and were very selective... even asking us in passing if we were interested in Swiss watches and gold rings.
