死亡幽灵——百慕达的神秘魔窟

2011-10-28T01:28:00.000+08:00

位于加勒比海附近的百慕达三角洲，是一个非常神秘的地方。据记载，从十九世纪起，途经三角洲的船只或飞机都会无故失踪，这种异象，现今的科学家尚未能作出彻底解释。恐怕是百慕大群岛的神秘海域使它蜚声世界的吧。时间的指针指向了今天，但是似乎仍然没有人能够说清楚，在那些惊涛骇浪的深处，到底躺着多少只沉船，又有多少宝藏，那些神秘莫测的谜团，也许只有上帝能够解释清楚。

吸力惊人百慕达

百慕达三角洲之所以神秘莫测，因为该处不时有船只无故失踪。

船员人间蒸发

一八四○年，一艘由法国启航的船只「罗莎里号」，运载大批香水和葡萄酒，行驶到古巴附近即失去联络。数星期後，「罗莎里号」被海军发现停泊在百慕达三角洲海域内，船只并无任何损毁痕，没有船员尸体，所有船员就像人间蒸发。有人认为，「罗莎里号」遭海盗洗劫，船员全遭杀害，但事实上货物全部原封不动，此一说法不攻自破。

人船俱失影踪

一九一八年三月四日，美国「塞克罗普斯号」载三百零九名船员，连同一万吨的矿石，一夜之间连人带船平白无端的消失得无影无踪。事後军方作出调查，发觉出事海域并没有船只的残骸，也没有船员的尸体。有人认为百慕达海域有一个不为人知的地心黑洞。

战机突然消失

一九六○年，五架美国战机在百慕达三角洲的晴空上进行飞行训练，当飞机穿过云层时，其中一架战机在其他机师的线视范围下突然消失，这引起空军基地的一阵骚动。事後美国军方派出一批搜索队在附近调查，最後找不到任何飞机的残骸，飞机如何消失，至今仍是个谜。

唯一幸运生还者

一九六六年，一名资深的航海员亨利，曾经历一场天旋地转的大激斗。当时他驾驶船只途经百慕达三角洲海域，发现罗盘的指针不停晃动，最後更三百六十度旋转，抬头一望，天空、海水与地平线全部混成一团，海面霎时来了一阵浓雾，更有一股强大吸力拉扯亨利的船只。亨利奋力抵抗，最後逃离浓雾范围，惊魂甫定，亨利注意到百慕达海面只剩一片不寻常的奶白色。

巨型水底金字塔

一九七七年四月七日，科学家在百慕达三角洲的海底，发现了一座比现今最大的胡夫王金字塔更高更大的金字塔，更不可思议的是，塔顶还有一类似神殿的建筑物，究竟是何人所建？建造目的又是甚麽？种种疑问，又成为百慕达三角洲的不解谜团之一。

百慕大三角的“死人复活”

2011-10-27T23:53:00.000+08:00

百慕大三角在世人的心目中简直比魔鬼还可怕，在那时莫名其妙的失踪的飞机和船只不知有多少，这个恐怖的海域不知吞噬了多少人的生命。但是世间事无奇不有，也有人在百慕大“死”而复活，连自己也不知道是怎么回事。

1989年2月26日，一艘由巴拿马渔船在百慕大三角南75里处作业，人们发现一白色布袋在海面上一沉一浮，拉出海面一看，里面竟是一个活人。这个人叫米高维尔斯奇思，他在1926年死于癌症，他随身携带的一些文件证明了这点。他先被送到百慕大医院，后又被转至欧洲苏黎世精神中心，以便找出其“死而复生”的原因？医生们费尽周折也找不出原因，他自己也不明所以。
　　
此人1918年移居百慕大，1923年患癌症，1926年3月24日，他的妻子遵照其生前要求海葬的遗愿，把他装在帆布袋里海葬，抛到百慕大以南的海里。想不到63年他怎么活过来了呢？即使“复活”了，在帆布袋里也会淹死呀？他本人对这些也不能解释，他说他“死”后自己也很模糊，只记得恢复知觉时被人救上了渔船。
　　
1946年3月16日，白赖仁和莉地亚夫结为夫妇。一年后，他们在百慕大坐游艇再度蜜月，在游览中，白赖仁失足坠入海中，被汹涌的波涛卷的无影无踪。莉地亚回到家乡肯特基后，不再嫁人，苦苦思念着丈夫。四十三年后的1990年初，莉地亚心血来潮，她要故地重游，租用了老船长63岁杜比亚辛的船，当船驶到她丈夫被溺的海域时，被认为早已溺死的白赖仁竟奇迹般的出现在该船的甲板上，与其忠贞的妻子拥抱、接吻，之后却又出乎意料地双双消失了，好在船长并未因惊奇而发昏，就在这对夫妇拥抱、接吻的一刹那，他不失时机的利用照相机拍摄了一张珍贵的照片，并在返回港口后向警方出示了这张照片，警察们也不得不相信这个事实。

百慕达 - 失踪者再现之谜

2011-10-27T23:48:00.000+08:00

“时空无时不在，无处不在。”这是一个哲学命题，也是人们通常最普遍的认识误区之一。根据科学家们判定：在通古斯陨石坠落的地区、核武器实验地区、切尔诺贝利原子能发电站附近以及其他有死亡威胁的地方，即使最精确的表也会不准。有时发生的某种不可思议的事，好像“时间断裂”一样……神奇的海洋上，似乎也时时向人们展示着时间断裂。

2009年6月1日14时。法国航空公司失踪航班上载有231人，该航班1日在巴西海岸外的大西洋上空从雷达屏幕上消失。法国航空公司证实，这架航班号为AF447的空客A330飞机已失去联系，机上载有216名乘客和15名机组人员。百慕大三角再次掀起冒险热。

（1）海风号失踪八年再现

1981年8月，一艘名叫海风号的英国游船在“魔鬼三角”——百慕大海区突然失踪，当时船上六人骤然不见了踪影。

不料，时过八年，这艘船在百慕大原海区又奇迹般地出现了！船上六人安然无恙。
这六个人共同的特点就是当时已失去了感觉，对已逝去的八年时光他们毫无觉察，并以为仅仅是过了一霎间。当调查人员反复告诉他们已经过去了八年，最后他们才勉强接受这个事实，当问他们当时都做了些什么事时，他们无话以对，因为他们只感觉过了一会儿，似乎什么也没干。

调查人员之一澳大利亚UFO(不明飞行物)专家哈特曼对此十分兴奋，因为在百慕大海区失踪的人员重新再现，这还是首次。虽然以前曾有失踪的船只出现，但无法弄清楚事情始末。尽管这六个人未能圆满回答调查人员的话，但他认为，用催眠术很可能搞清他们这次奇遇的细节，从他们身上会得到惊人的发现。

这件怪事，虽然出现了时间差异，这对于研究第I类世界和II类世界之间的时间差异问题是绝好的案例。也是对“时间隧道”进行研究的好素材。这是在诸多不明飞行物案例中，当事者产生时间丢失或产生衰老现象是同样重要的案例，引起了有关科学家极大的重视。

（2）失踪三十六年的气球再现

1954年在加勒比海，驾驶员夏里·罗根和戴历·诺顿驾驶气球和其他五十个参赛者参加气球越洋比赛。当时天气晴朗，视野清晰。突然，在众人面前，这个气球一下子莫名其妙地消失了。

1990年，消失多年后的气球又突然在古巴与北美陆地的海面上出现。它的出现曾使古巴和美国政府大为紧张，特别是古巴，误以为美国派出秘密武器来进攻了呢。

古巴飞机驾驶员真米·艾捷度少校说：“一分钟前天空还什么也没有，一分钟后那里便多了一个气球。”当时古巴军方在雷达上发现了这个气球，以为是美国的秘密武器，曾一度派飞机想把它击落，最后大气球被古巴飞机迫降在海上，两名驾驶员则由一艘巡洋舰救起，送到古巴一个秘密海军基地受审。

这件怪事不但古巴人感到惊讶，连两个驾驶员诺顿和罗根也同样感到迷惑不解。这两个驾驶员说他们当时正在参加由夏湾拿到波多黎各的一项气球比赛。他们不知道时间已经过去了三十六年，他们只是感到全身有一种轻微的刺痛感觉，就好像是微弱电流流过全身一样，然后一眨眼他们面前的一切包括大海和天空都变成一片灰白色，接着他们记得有一架古巴飞机在他们气球面前出现。

芝加哥调查员卡尔·戈尔曾查证过罗根与诺顿的讲话，他们确实在1954年参加一项气球比赛途中神奇地失踪，戈尔认为这气球进入了时间隧道。“对他们来说可能只是一瞬间，可在地球上却已过去了三十六年，相差很大。”因此说，这是比地球时间慢的一条神奇隧道。
类似上述的案例还可以列举许多，其共同点就是失踪者再现时时间变慢。但是，也有失踪者感到时间变快的案例。

（3）九十三名船员骤然衰老之谜

在百慕大魔鬼三角区出现过这样的怪事，一艘前苏联潜水艇一分钟前在百慕大海域水下航行，可一分钟后浮上水面时竟在印度洋上。在几乎跨越半个地球的航行中，潜艇中九十三名船员全部都骤然衰老了五至二十年。

此事发生后，前苏联军方和科学界立即开始对潜艇和所有人员进行调查，并作出三份报告。

其中研究人员阿列斯·马苏洛夫博士认为：“这艘潜艇进入了一个时间隧道的加速管道。虽然对它仍知之甚少，不过除此之外，无其他更合理的解释。”“至于在穿越时空之际，速度对人体有何影响，我们也知道不多，只知道对人体某些部位有影响。那些船员竟在很短时间内衰老了五至二十年，却是我们前所未见的。”

该潜艇指挥官尼格拉·西柏耶夫说：“当时我们正在百慕大执行任务，一切十分正常，不知什么原因，潜艇突然下沉。”“它来得突然，也停得突然，接着一切恢复了正常，只是我们感觉有些不妥，便下令潜艇浮出水面。”“整个事件发生得实在太快了，我们连想一下的时间都没有，而当时我们的领航仪表明我们的位置已在非洲中部以东，就是说与我们刚才的位置相差1万千米。潜艇立即与前苏联海军总部进行无线电联系，联系结果证实他们潜艇的位置的确在印度洋而不在百慕大。

这艘潜艇回到黑海的潜艇基地后，艇上人员立即由飞机送往莫斯科一个实验室接受专家检查，结果发现他们明显地衰老了，典型特征是：皱纹、白发、肌肉失去弹性和视力衰退等。从使人衰老这方面看，这的确是一个悲剧，但从科学上看，这却是一个可喜的新发现。这些船员所经历的事告诉我们，可能有一个比地球时间快的时间隧道。

（4）海洋中漂流四十五年的士兵获救

1945年，一艘战舰触雷，美国二十五名士兵漂流海上，1989年获救。

1945年在南太平洋由于遭到日本潜水艇袭击，与美国海军印第安纳波利斯号巡洋舰一起沉没在大海的二十五名美军士兵在1989年被菲律宾渔民救起。

当人们接到SOS求救信号后，发现这二十五名美军士兵正坐在一个海军救生艇中，在菲律宾南部的西里伯斯海漂浮。他们所在的那个区域常有神秘的失踪事件发生，人们称为“南太平洋魔鬼三角”——即龙三角海区。

美国海军当局对于这批水兵的出现感到困惑不解，那些重新出现的士兵，就像四十五年前巡洋舰沉没时那样年轻。

而被救起的二十五名美国士兵认为自己仅漂流了九天，实际上地球时间已过去了四十五年。

印第安纳波利斯号巡洋舰的沉没是美军历史上最不幸的事件之一。当那条船秘密向冲绳岛运送原子弹部件后向菲律宾开出时，突然遭到5颗水雷拦阻袭击而沉没大海，当时甲板上总共有1196人。而此次海难仅有25人获救，其余1171人命归何处，尚不知晓。

对此，我们除了用时间隧道解释外实难理解。

如果我们按照士兵所说的九天比四十五年来计算，当时巡洋舰的航行速度与地球自转速度(250米/秒)相比可以忽略不计，那么初步计算，巡洋舰假如进入了时空隧道，根据推算，那么它起码应达到844.9千米/秒的高速度，显然这个速度还远远没有达到光速。可惜目前做这样的试验尚有困难。

（5）失踪二十四年再现的渔民

1990年8月在委内瑞拉卡拉卡斯市的一只失踪了二十四年的帆船尤西斯号在一处偏僻海滩搁浅再现(这只船是在二十四年前一次飓风中在百慕大三角区失踪的)。帆船上三名船员由土著居民救起之后，就送到卡拉卡斯市寻求援助。

为这三个人检查身体的医生说：这三人虽然经历这么多年，但一点也没有衰老，好像时间对他们已完全停止了。柏比罗·古狄兹医生说：“这三名船员中最老的一个在失踪时是四十二岁，按理说他现在应该是六十六岁的老人，可是现在看起来依然像四十多岁，身体非常健康。”

这三名船员之一——来自美国缅因州的职业渔民柏狄·米拿说：“我们什么也记不清啦，只知道当时起了场飓风。我们当时扬帆出海，驶向艾路巴小岛，希望能捕到当地盛产的马林鱼。然而忽然天色大变，转眼漫天乌云，电闪雷鸣，波涛汹涌，我们便立即将船向岸边驶去，这便是我所知道的所有经历。我还知道的就是我们的船只搁浅了，当我们向那里的土人问起时，才知道今年是1990年。最初我们还以为对方在开玩笑。我们是1966年1月6日出发的，原来打算出海捕鱼七天，没想到一去就去了二十四年！”

船上最年轻的十九岁的提比·保利维亚说他记得遇到1966年那场飓风前，他们还捕到一条金枪鱼。当他们回到岸上后，当局派人上船调查，在船舱冷藏库中真的找到了那条金枪鱼。调查人员说：“这条鱼仍然十分新鲜，就好像是刚捕到的一样。”

英国政府曾查阅1966年记录，证实当年确有这么一艘帆船无影无踪了，原因不详。

此事只能有一个解释：帆船进入了时间隧道中，时间变慢。至于如何进入时间隧道？是否有不明飞行物在现场作怪，目前尚不可断下结论。与此案情颇类似的现代案例是1994年夏，一架由菲律宾起飞的客机飞往意大利，中途经过非洲东部上空时，突然失踪了二十分钟(在雷达屏幕上消失后再现)，到达意大利机场时晚点二十分钟。可是机上乘客和机组人员一无所知，每人的手表指针也没有晚点。该飞机是否进入时空隧道，还是受不明飞行物影响作用所致？有待探讨。

百慕大三角

2011-10-27T23:31:00.000+08:00

百慕大三角（英语：Bermuda Triangle，又称魔鬼三角或丧命地狱，有时又称百慕大三角洲；但此区域并不是三角洲地形，且不合语源），位于北大西洋的马尾藻海，是由英属百慕大群岛、美属波多黎各及美国佛罗里达州南端所形成的三角区海域，据称经常发生超自然现象及违反物理定律的事件，面积约390万平方公里（150万平方英里）。

“百慕大魔鬼三角区”名称的由来，是1945年12月5日美国19飞行队在训练时突然失踪，当时预定的飞行计划是一个三角形，于是人们后来把美国东南沿海的西大西洋上，北起百慕大，延伸到佛罗里达州南部的迈阿密，然后通过巴哈马群岛，穿过波多黎各，到西经40线附近的圣胡安，再折回百慕大，形成的一个三角地区，称为百慕大三角区或“魔鬼三角”。在这个地区，已有数以百计的船只和飞机失事，数以千计的人在此丧生。从1880到1976年间，约有158次失踪事件，其中大多是发生在1949年以来的30年间，曾发生失踪97次，至少有2000人在此丧生或失踪。这些奇怪神秘的失踪事件，主要是在西大西洋的一片叫“马尾藻海”地区，为北纬20°-40°、西经35°-75°之间的宽广水域。这儿有世界著名的墨西哥暖流以每昼夜120-190千米流过，且多漩涡、台风和龙卷风。不仅如此，这儿海深达4000-5000米，有波多黎各海沟，深7000米以上，最深达9218米。

1950年，百慕大人特迪·塔克首次在百慕大海底发现来自新大陆的沉船以及船内的珍宝：金币、陶器。几百年前酿造的瓶装陈酒。这条沉船看起来像一个沉睡百年的食品加工机械，又像是一个巨大的垃圾处理场，在它上面，折断的桅杆在海水中飘荡。特迪·塔克这一首次发现，顿时引起了世界轰动，随即就在美洲掀起了一股寻找沉船和珍宝的探险考察热潮。大批的考古学家、历史学家和探险家都来到百慕大群岛，开始他们的考察和探险。

据在沉船上找到的一枚残缺生锈的西班牙比塞塔银币推测，这条船是于18世纪中叶在这里沉没的。后来，专家们又在另一些船上找到了一桶桶染料，菲律宾红木、铁犁木和一些食品，如葡萄干、布丁等。由此，人们认为这些船可能来自欧洲，它们是在中美洲或南美洲之间进行海岸贸易以后，返回途中遇难的。科学家、历史学家用了五年的心血想要搞清楚挖掘出的兵器、陶器的出处，但结果却并不让人满意。比如说一对钥匙上面刻着一个鸡冠。

专家们细心查阅了18世纪的《法国纹章学》，但却发现书上没有这方面资料的记载。有几个木头盘子上倒是写着“L.B.D.G”，意思是“带有法国德洛蒂亚头像金路易”，表明这些沉船是法国的。可是这个论断并不能经得起推敲，因为在十七、八世纪的船上，也时常装有舶来品，像英国的枪炮、西班牙的金币、法国的葡萄酒、中国的瓷器、丹麦的石制品等等。所以，这些船是谁的？它们从哪儿来？又要到哪里去？沉船回答给人们的依然是沉默。

在百慕大群岛的礁岩上，刻着西班牙“罗克”号登陆后刻写的大写字母“FT”，时间是1543年。这记载了关于不幸触礁葬身海底的年份。人们把他视为第一批到美洲的移民。

18世纪末以前，比色仪还未问世，人们无法准确测量经纬度的位置。因此，当人们乘船从古巴、佛罗里达或中美洲返回欧洲时，须由墨西哥湾北上，直到抵达北纬约30°的位置，然后再转向东方，依靠西南季风或者东北季风航行到西班牙，法国和英格兰。然而，大约在北纬32“墨西哥湾边缘的一些地方，正是百慕大海域的暗礁群。船只只有通过那里才能进入大西洋。现代航海技术的发展，特别是远距离无线电导航系统的使用，大大减少了船只的海难事故。但是，在百慕大海域却不能完全避免。百慕大的幽灵，被看作是航海者们的克星。一些敬畏鬼神的人们提起百慕大海域三角区时就大惊失色。

科学家们认为，远距离无线电导航系统在百慕大海域受到了干扰，海底早已死去的火山仍然保留着相当一部分磁性，它能够使罗盘紊乱、失灵。磁性干扰的因素增大了海难系数，就连探险船也屡屡陷入这个魔窟。百慕大群岛的人十分聪明，他们深知这一海域的危险性，正是这一危险性使他们的钱包逐渐鼓了起来。360行，行行有人做。海难事故给百慕大人带来了无穷的财富。海难救险队在瑞克丘陵和吉比斯丘陵夜以继日地等待着海难呼救信号。一旦有船触礁，无数条大船便风驰电掣般地驶向出事地点，营救死里逃生的船员，并从他们那里得到一笔丰厚的酬金。也正是因为这里海难迭发，才形成百慕大独具特色的旅游业。它还为保险公司和拥有私人救护船队的百慕大人提供了赚钱的机会。他们利用救生船、潜水装备以及这一水域的潜水资料，引导游客在水下领略一下美洲殖民地的历史。

地球的黑洞 - 百幕达三角区

2011-10-27T23:16:00.000+08:00

在本世纪海上发生的神秘事件中，最著名而以最令解的，当属发生在百慕达三角的一连串飞机、轮船失踪案。据说自从1945年以来，在这片海域已有数以百计的飞机和船只神秘的无故失踪。失踪事件之多，使世人无法相信其尽属偶然。所谓百慕达三角是指北起百慕达群岛，南到波多黎各，西至美国佛罗里达州这样一片三角形海域，面积约一百万平方公里。由于这一片海面失踪事件叠起，世人便称它为“地球的黑洞”、“魔鬼三角”。

1945年12月哦日，美国第十九飞行队的队长泰勒上尉带领人14名飞行员，驾驶着5架复仇者式鱼雷轰炸机，从佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡机场起飞，进行飞行训练。泰勒是一名经验丰富的飞行员，有着在空中飞行 2599小时的飞行记录，他的飞行技术对完成这样的训练任务应该是根本不成问题的。但当飞行的机群越过巴哈马群岛上空时，基地突然收到了泰勒上尉的呼叫： “我的罗盘失灵了！”，“我在不连接的陆地上空！”以后两个小时，无线电通信系统断断续续，但是还能显示出他们大致是向北和向东飞。下午4点，指挥部收到泰勒上尉的呼叫：“我弄不清自位置，我不知在什么地方。”接着电波讯号越来越微弱，直至一片沉寂。指挥部感到这事不大对头，立即派一架水上飞机起飞搜索。半小时后，一艘油轮上的人看见一团火焰，那架水上飞机坠落了。

在短短的6个小时，6架飞机，15位飞行员一下子都不见了。他们消失得莫名其妙。这件事使美国当局受到极大的震动，军方决心查个水落石出。次日，在广达600万平方公里的海面上，出动了300架飞机和包括航空母舰在内的21艘舰艇，进行了最大规模的搜索。搜索范围从百慕达到墨西哥湾的每一处海面，时间达5天之久，可仍没能找到那六架飞机的踪影。

多年来，人们对这次事件传说纷纭，百慕三海域也就随着这次事件的披露而出了名。然而，该地区无法解释的船只或飞机失踪事件，可以追溯到一9世纪中叶。

早在1840年，一艘名叫“洛查理”的法国货船航行到百慕达海面时，人们就发现船上食物新鲜如初，货物整齐无损，而船员却全部神秘地失踪了。

1872年，在亚速尔群岛以西的海面上，又有人发现叫“玛丽亚·米列斯特”的双桅船在海上漂流，船上摆放着新鲜的水果、食物，甚至半杯咖啡还没喝完，而船内空无一人。

1935年，意在利藉货轮“莱克斯”号的水手们眼看着美国荞帆船“拉达荷马”号一点点的海浪知没。但5天后，他们又亲眼看到这艘帆船居然又漂浮在海面上。水手们简直不敢相信自眼睛，即使是他们连同被救起的 “拉达荷马”号船员一起跳到这艘船上，他们还怀疑自己是不是在做白日梦。

另一个突出事例是装载着锰矿的美国海军辅助船“独眼神”号在1918年3月失踪，这艘巨型货轮拥有309名水手，并有着当时良好的无线电设备，竟没有发出任何呼救讯号就无影无踪。

1951年，巴西一架水上飞机在搜寻他们一艘在这片海域失踪军舰时，发现百慕达海域的水面下有一个庞大的黑色物体，正以惊人的速度掠过。

1977年2月，有人驾驶私人水上飞机飞过百慕达海域，发现罗盘指针偏离了几十度，正在吃饭的人发现盘子里的刀叉都变弯了。飞离这里后，他们还发现录音机磁带里录下了强烈的噪音。

美国海难救助公司的一位船长说，有一次他乘船途经百慕达海域时，船上的罗盘指针突然猛烈摆动，正在运转的柴油机功率突然消失，浊浪滔天，船的四周都是大雾。他命令轮机手全速前进，终于冲出大雾。但这片海域外的海浪并不大，也没有雾。他说，这未见过这种怪事。

百慕达三角发生的事件，引起了各国科学家和有关方面的注意。人们对此提出了种种不同的看法。

有人认为百慕达海底有巨大的磁场，因此会造成罗盘失灵。1943年，一位名叫裘萨的博士曾在美国海军配合下作了一次实验，以两台磁力发生机输出十几榈的磁力。磁力发生机开机后，船体周围涌起绿色烟雾，船和人都受到了某种刺激，有些人经治疗恢复正常，事后裘萨却自杀而死。因此结果也就不了了之。

有人认为百慕达区域有着类似宇宙黑洞的现象。但“黑洞”是在太空中的一种状态，在地球上否有黑洞，还有待于证明。有人认为百慕达海域海底有一股与海面潮流发生冲突时，就会造成海上事故，但这股海底的潜流又是怎样形成的此也没有一个较为合理的解释。

此外，还有次声破坏论、空气湍流论等种种说法，但这些解释也都是一种假说，既缺乏足够的依据，也未能为人们普遍接受。

1979年，美国和法国科学家组织的联合考察组，在百慕达海域的海底发现一个巨大的水下金字塔。根据美国迈阿密博物馆名誉馆长查尔斯·柏里兹派人拍下的照片，可以看到这个水下金字塔比埃及大金字塔还要巨大。塔身上有两个黑洞，海水高速从洞中穿过。

水下金字塔的发现，使百慕达三角谜变得更为神秘莫测，它到底是人造的还是自然形成的？它与百慕达海域连续发生的海难和空难有什么关系？这些都有待于人们的进一步探讨。百慕达这个黑洞，至今还没有看见底。

Make Money Online (Without Spending a Dime)

2011-10-27T16:40:00.000+08:00

Making money online used to pretty much require you to have your own Web site, products to sell and some marketing savvy. But a new generation of dot-coms have arisen that will pay you for what you know and who you know without you having to be a web designer or a marketing genius.

But it's hard to tell hype from the real deal. I did a search on "make money online" and "making money online", and much of the information out there is just promoting various infoproducts, mostly about Internet marketing. I see why people sometimes ask, "Is anyone making money online besides Internet marketing experts?"

So I put together a list of business opportunities with legitimate companies that:

* Pay cash, not just points towards rewards or a chance to win money
* Don't require you to have your own Web domain or your own products
* Don't involve any hard-selling
* Aren't just promoting more Internet marketing
* Give a good return on your time investment

Help friends find better jobs
Sites like ReferEarns, Zyoin, Who Do You Know For Dough?, Bohire and WiseStepp connect employers with prospective employees, many of whom are already employed and not actively job-hunting, via networking - the people who know these qualified candidates. Rewards for referring a candidate who gets hired range from $50 on up to several thousand dollars - not chump change. If you know a lot of job-seekers (and who doesn't these days?), this is a great way to break into the recruiting business with no overhead.

Connect suppliers with buyers
Referral fees are a common practice in business, but they haven't been used much in online networking sites because there was no way to track them. Sites like Salesconx, InnerSell and uRefer now provide that. Vendors set the referral fees they're willing to pay (and for what), and when the transaction happens, you get paid. uRefer also allows merchants to set up referral programs for introductions and meetings, as well as transactions.

Write
A growing number of sites will pay for your articles or blog posts. Associated Content and Helium will "pay for performance" based on page views for just about anything you want to write about. Articles on specific topics they're looking for can earn direct payments up to about $200. The rates are probably low for established writers, but if you're trying to break into the field and have time on your hands, they're a great way to start. Also, a lot of companies are looking for part-time bloggers. They may pay per post or on a steady contract. Our Weblogs Guide posts blogging jobs weekly in the forum.

Start your own blog
You don't have to have your own Web site, or install blogging software, or even figure out how to set up the advertising. At Blogger you can set up a blog for free in less than five minutes without knowing a thing about web design, and Blogger even automates setting up Google AdSense so you can make money off your blog by displaying ads and getting paid when people click on the ads. To make even more money from it, set up an affiliate program (see below) for books, music, etc., and insert your affiliate links whenever you refer to those items. You'll have to get a lot of traffic to become a six-figure blogger, but pick an interesting topic, write well, tell all your friends, and you're off to a good start.

Microstock photography
You don't have to be a professional photographer to sell your photos for money. People are constantly in need of stock photography for websites, presentations, brochures and so on, and are willing to pay for the right image. People generally search for images on stock photography sites by keywords, not by photographer, so you have the same chance as anyone else of having your image picked.

Just be careful that you don't have images of trademarked brands, copyrighted art or people's faces that are readily identifiable (unless you have a model release), but just about anything else is fair game, and I promise - you'd be amazed what people need pictures of, so don't make any assumptions. If it's a decent photo, upload it. Some sites to get you started include Fotolia, ShutterStock, Dreamstime and iStockphoto. The great thing about this is that it's truly "set it and forget it".

Advertise other people's products
If you already have a Web site or a blog, look for vendors that offer related but non-competing products and see if they have an affiliate program. Stick to familiar products and brands - they're easier to sell. To promote those products:

* Place simple text or graphical ads in appropriate places on your site
* Include links to purchase products you review or recommend in a blog, discussion forum or mailing list you control
* Create a dedicated sales page or Web site to promote a particular product

They all work - it just depends on how much time you have to spend on it and your level of expertise with Web design and marketing.

Create topical resource hubs
Are you an expert on a particular niche topic? Can you put together an overview of the topic and assemble some of the best resources on the topic from around the web? Then you can create topical hubs and get paid through sites like Squidoo, HugPages and Google Knol. Payments are based on a combination of ad revenue and affiliate fees. You'll get higher rates doing it on your own, but these sites have a built-in supply of traffic and tools to make content creation easier.

八大秘诀让你放心吃甜点

2011-10-27T14:55:00.000+08:00

1.控制食用量，是最高指导原则：甜点或点心会让人发胖是因为热量较一般食物高，所以，只要吃得适量，一点都不会增加体重。当然，正在减肥的人，如果拒绝点心和零食比较能快些达到效果。不过，如果你并不想戒掉美味的甜点，又不愿减肥失败，就只有事先做好阶段性的计划，严格控制点心的食用量，一来可以让精神压力减少，二来又可提高成功率。

2.避免空腹吃甜点：因为空肚子的时候，热量吸收的效果是最好的，而且很容易在不知不觉中就容易多吃很多。如果实在饿得不行，需要吃点东西填饱肚子，可以吃些热量较低的点心，像果冻、酸奶、水果或苏打饼干。

3.高热量甜点饭后吃：高热量点心如cheese蛋糕，则放在饭后吃比较好，因为与用餐中的食物纤维一起消化，热量吸收会比较少，且不容易吃太多。

提示：点心的热量计算

若将点心的热量数字化，活动量低的人每天点心热量的容许范围是在150-200大卡之间，运动量中等的人是在250-300大卡之间，而高运动量的人可以约在400-500大卡左右。当然，点心的热量范围与体重的高低、个人体质与三餐热量的摄取都有关系，因此应依照个人实际情况及三餐战略进行设计和调整。

臀部太大，怎么办？

2011-10-27T14:50:00.000+08:00

穿

　　运动时穿着薄薄没有支撑力的三角款式内裤，年轻时不觉有何不妥，用不着等到珠黄时期，你的臀部就会因为弹性纤维组织松弛，支撑力不够而向地心看齐。

坐

　　不能斜坐在椅子上，斜坐时压力集中在脊椎尾端，血液循环不良，氧气供给不足；也不能只坐椅子前端1／3处，因为重量全放在臀部这一小方块处，长时闲下来会疲惫变形。

　　背脊挺直，坐满椅子2／3处，将力量分摊在臀部及大腿处。累得很，想靠背一下，请选择能完全支撑背部力量的椅背。尽量合并双腿，不让开腿姿势长久下来影响骨盆形状；坐时踮起脚尖来，对臀部线条着实不无小补。可以但尽量不要长时间双腿交叉坐，否则血循不好，危机会浮出表面的。

站

　　站太久，血液不易自远程处回流，造成臀部供氧量不足，新陈代谢不好，还可能会有静脉曲张的恐怖现象呢！

　　挺背提肛举举腿是良好的站姿，背脊挺直，缩腹提气，此时感觉一下肛门收缩的动作，偷偷做可收缩臀部。需要长时间站立的美女，请务必不时动一下，做做抬腿后举的动作，1小时内至少要偷个闲做个五分钟哟！

吃

　　高热量、高甜度、口味重的现代人饮食形式，是造成肥胖的主要原因。如果又不爱动手动脚，肥肉日渐累积是理所当然的。

　　低盐高纤好消化、少盐分的食物可以防止脚浮肿的可能、高级的食物可以维持良好肠胃消化，蜂蜜有排毒功效，糖分、热量、油腻程度少，可以减肥。

　　另外，抽烟、喝酒、熬夜使血循不好、代谢不良、结缔组织松弛，影响臀部的形状。

Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Blog

2011-10-27T14:42:00.000+08:00

1. Read and comment on other blogs that are in your target niche. Don't write things like "nice blog" or "great post." Write intelligent, useful comments with a link to your blog.

2. Use Ping-0-matic to ping blog directories. Do this every time you publish. http://www.pingomatic.com

3. Add a link to your blog in your email signature file.

4. Put a link to your blog on every page of your website.

5. If you publish a newsletter, make sure you have a link to your blog in every issue.

6. Include a link to your blog as a standard part of all outgoing correspondence such as autoresponder sequences, sales letters, reports, white papers, etc.

7. Print your blog URL on your business cards, brochures and flyers.

8. Make sure you have an RSS feed URL that people can subscribe to.
The acronym RSS means Rich Site Summary, or some may consider its meaning as Really Simple Syndication. It is a document type that lists updates of websites or blogs available for syndication. These RSS documents (also known as 'feeds') may be read using aggregators (news readers). RSS feeds may show headlines only or both headlines and summaries. To learn how news aggregators/RSS readers work, see this site: http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-readers.htm

9. Post often to keep attracting your subscribers to come back and refer you to others in their networks; include links to other blogs, articles and websites in your posts.

10. Use Trackback links when you quote or refer to other blog posts. What is TrackBack? Essentially what this does is send a message from one server to another server letting it know you have posted a reference to their post. The beauty is that a link to your blog is now included on their site.

11. Make a commitment to blog everyday. 10 minutes a day can help increase your traffic as new content attracts search engine spiders. Put it on your calendar as a task every day at the same time.

Tip: Use a hit counter to track your visitor stats: how many unique visitors, how many page views, average length of visit. You can get a free hit counter at http://www.sitemeter.com

Ways to Promote Your Blog

2011-10-27T14:31:00.002+08:00

1. Ping weblogs.com and other search engines. When you ping a blog, you are telling the search engine that you have updated your blog content and that your listing should be refreshed. Weblogs.com is a blog update notification service that many individuals and services use to track blog changes. Pinging your blogs to the search engines is the fastest way to get the search engine robots to visit your blog. Also, many people browse these sites to find something new.

2. Submit your blog address to blog search sites and directories. You can submit your blog's url to websites such as Technorati, Daypop, Blogdex and Popdex.

3. If you have some cash you can promote your blog using pay per click search engines such as Yahoo Search and Google Adwords.

4. Set your blog to display RSS feeds and submit your blog's RSS feed to the major RSS feed directories online.

5. Put your blog URL in your email signature. If you’re a regular at any online discussion forum, you can also add your url to your signature line at the bottom of each message you post.

6. Install a blogroll. A blogroll is a collection of links to other weblogs. Services such as Technorati spider your links to tell who’s linking to you and who you’re linking to. If you show up on someone’s Technorati link list for their site they’re likely to visit your site to see what you said, increasing your exposure. Blog owners can also visit your site to check it out if you show up on their referral logs.

7. Be an active commenter. Try to leave comments on the blogs that you regularly visit. Most comment systems also provide a way for you to leave a link back to your blog which begs a visit at the very least.

8. If you plan to have anything printed up, put your blog’s web address on it. You can print your blog URL on business cards, stickers, leaflets, etc.

9. Take advantage of blog software features that help to promote your Blog. For example, if you're using Blogger, you can do this by turning on: "Email This Post", "Post Pages" "Site feed" and the Blogger Navbar. These features will help attract new visitors to your blog.

10. Exchange Links with other Bloggers or blog owners. This is another effective strategy for generating targeted traffic to your blog for free. It involves contacting other blog owners for a possible link exchange partnership. All you have to do is locate blogs that are related to yours and contact the webmaster to swap links.

11. Write articles or free reports for other webmasters to publish and put your blog url in the byline. The ‘byline’ is the short paragraph that goes at the bottom of each article and describes who the author is and what they do. If you write good content, your articles will be published by other webmasters and many readers who like your article will go on to visit your blog.

黃安曝李冰冰整容

2011-10-27T13:25:00.000+08:00

日前，歌手黃安與影視明星許秋怡現身成都美容整形醫院參加活動。

這位娛樂圈中出了名的大嘴，這次來成都不忘報料娛樂圈所有女明星都整過容，並揚言，“不管是現在還是將來，我都是第一個承認自己整容過的明星。”

黃安著長款黑色馬甲，十分搶鏡。說到穿衣打扮，他自己都承認自己20幾歲都不敢這樣穿。一向口無遮攔的黃安開始諷刺76歲的‘四哥’謝賢，“你方向錯誤，走得越快越糟糕。打扮的那種風格不對是沒有用的。年紀最大，穿得越騷包的是誰？是謝霆鋒他爸爸！”

除了諷刺老明星，黃安還報料自己整過容，“我現在沒有皺紋，把皺紋弄平了為什麼不敢說，照說不誤。”這位大嘴藝人報料自己還不夠，現場又說起別的女明星來，“每個人都希望長得很漂亮，明星也希望自己很好看。我可以跟大家說，圈內女明星沒有一個不整形的。舉一個簡單的例子，各位可以看1997年拍的一個片子名字叫《商鞅傳奇》，女主角名字叫李冰冰，大家可以看2009年的《狄仁傑》相差十幾年的李冰冰竟然變年輕了，為什麼不說破？”

黄河的“几”字形

2011-10-27T05:00:00.000+08:00

黄河在世界万千条河流中，独树一帜。她有一个最显著的特点，就是在流程中形成一个大大的“几”字形。她为什么是“几”字形呢？

我们知道每一条大的河流都是由一条主流和若干条支流组成的。河流里的水，除了来自天上的雨水外，就是地面水和地下水的注入。这样，每一条河流刚开始形成的时候，有的地方河岸坍了一些变宽了，有的地方被树木、石头或其他杂物堵塞，流速都会发生变化。另外，河流两岸的组成物质也是有差异的，有的坚固，有的不坚固。这种种因素，都会导致河床弯曲。河床一旦弯曲，就会愈演愈烈。这是因为水流方向直指凹岸，而且还有表层水从凸岸流向凹岸，底层水从凹岸流向凸岸的横向运动，使凹岸更受冲击，而凸岸的地方则流动慢，力量较弱。这样，在凹岸一方，泥沙比较容易被冲走，河床较深，河岸也较陡；凸岸因为水流较缓，泥沙不但不会被冲走，反而在这里堆积了起来，越堆越多，使凸岸越来越凸。河道便越来越弯曲了。

黄河的弯曲也不过如此而已，但黄河能成“几”字形弯曲，则有它独特的原因。大约在50万年以前，黄河流经的地方并没有大河，只是一些湖泊和小河，像星星一样密密分布。大约5万年之前，陆地大变动，先是秦晋高原的小河和湖泊串通起来，形成南北走向的一条大河，又向北伸展，切开了分水岭，和内蒙古至宁夏的一段东西走向的河流汇合，形成一条“Z”形河流。不久，“Z”形河流不断壮大，并以更大的声威想上游发展，打通了贺兰山和卓子山之间的一些小河，把宁夏一带的水系纳入黄河。这样，“几”字形就基本形成了。后来，又经过漫长的历史变迁，形成了今天这条从巴颜喀拉山发源而到山东省垦利县入海的大黄河。

矮人岛

2011-10-27T04:44:00.000+08:00

很多人一定看过小人国和大人国的故事。那么你见过小人国的人吗？世界上最矮的人种就是生活在安达蔓群岛上！他们平均高度不到1.20米，一般男子的身高也不超过1.5米。不管男人还是女人，全都不习惯穿衣服。而是赤裸着身体。他们的脸长得比较大，鼻子直直的没，头发黑而且长不长，皮肤像漆一样黑。他们张开嘴笑的时候，白白的牙齿显得异常刺眼。一位叫曼尔高.帕洛的探险家在他的著作中《东方见闻录》中这样描写他们：“生着狗一样的头、齿和眼睛，他们非常残忍，要吃人的”。因此，这个土著民族也叫“狗面民族”。

人类学家们在岛上发现了很少居民，他们是些粗野的类似儿童的蒙昧人。这些蒙昧人身材很小（男人低于五英尺），他们的皮肤是黑的，头发鬈曲；其断面非常扁平；头发的状态由于他们有给自己剃头的习惯，读者可用想象去补充。但是，在这些方面和非洲黑人相似的同时，他们跟非洲黑人也有不同，颅骨不窄，又宽又圆。嘴唇不那么肥厚，鼻子不那么宽，下颚不像非洲黑人那样有力地突出。解剖学家们认为——这种意见已被弗劳尔的颅骨研究所证实——安达曼岛上居民可能是某种极早的人类部族的残余，或许是原始黑人类型的最优秀的代表，这一类型后来在传布到世界广大地区的情况下，各个方面都发生了变化。

历史学家认为，2000多年前这些黑人曾在东南亚诸海岛上辗转生活，但是现如今绝大多数岛屿上还有一万多黑人，可目前大约只有500人左右了。他们是现在居住在地球上的唯一的旧石器时代的残存者。由于地处偏远，几乎与世隔绝，因此无论他们的身体形态还是他们的文化都没有随着时间的推移而发生明显的改变。他们嚼草根，吃野果，不会耕作，和他们长相酷似的狗是他们惟一的饲养动物。原始型的方箭是他们使用的武器，捕鱼时用四个齿的鱼叉，射猎野猪时用临时捆绑的箭杆。有时候，他们还从失事的船只上弄些铁下来，做成箭头，小刀和锛子。

很早的时候，人们就知道安达曼群岛的存在。公元9世纪阿拉伯旅行者和13世纪马可·波罗都曾谈到安达曼群岛。当时马可·波罗称“安达曼”为“安加曼尼”。15世纪又有人叫它“金岛”。1789年9月，布莱尔大尉受孟加拉政府的指令在安达曼群岛东南湾的南安达曼岛上建立犯人流放地。这个流放地当时叫作康沃利斯港。两年后，孟加拉政府反流放地连同它的名字“康沃利斯”港的名字转到安达曼群岛的东北部。1844年，“布里顿”号和“鲁民蒙德”号两艘军舰在群岛附近失事，土著居民以为是向他们进攻，就将船上人员全部杀死，这样的事情经常发生。为了制止这样的事情发生。英国决定占领群岛。在1855年，他们制定了一项殖民地和囚犯流放地计划。但由于1857年的印度兵变，这项计划被打乱了。为了惩罚兵变中的俘虏，英国1858年初又在布莱尔港附近建立了一个新的流放地。1942年3月，日军侵占了安达曼。1945年10月，印度将其收回。随着孟加拉、缅甸和英属圭亚那的移民涌入，群岛上的人口越来越多，渐渐地繁荣和发达起来。

乐山大佛之谜

2011-10-27T04:22:00.000+08:00

1989年5月11日，广东省顺德县62岁的潘鸿忠老人正在兴致勃勃地游览乐山名胜。当他乘船返回时，偶然地回首对岸古塔，此时天气晴好，他举起相机，拍了一张风景照。5月25日，返回家乡的潘老在朋友们索要下，将照片拿出来看，友人们赞赏不已。潘鸿忠也在一旁审视，当看到那张古塔风景照时，他突然感到照片中山形恰如一健壮男子仰卧，细看头部，更是眉目传神。老人兴奋不已，示以众人，无不称奇。照片一传十，十传百，前前后后共有500多人观看，无不惊呼： “此乃乐山巨佛！”

从乐山河滨“福全门”处举目望去，清晰可见仰睡在青衣江畔的巨佛的魁梧身躯。对映着湍流的河水，巨佛似乎在微微起伏。那形态逼真的佛头、佛身、佛足，分别由乌尤山、凌云山和龟城山三山联襟构成。

仔细观察佛头，就是整座乌龙山，其山石、翠竹、亭阁、寺庙，加上山径与绿荫，分别呈现为巨佛的卷卷发鬓、饱满的前额、长长的睫毛、平直的鼻梁、微启的双唇、刚毅的下颌，看上去栩栩如生。

详视佛身，那是巍巍的凌云山，有九峰相连，宛如巨佛宽厚的胸脯，浑圆的腰脊，健美的腿胯。

远眺佛足，实际上是苍茫的龟城山的一部分，其山峰恰似巨佛翘起的脚板，好似顶天立地的擎天柱，显示着巨佛的无穷神力。

总观全佛和谐自然，匀称壮硕的身体，凝重肃穆的神态，眉目传神，慈祥安然，令人惊诧不已。全佛长达4000余米，堪称奇绝。

更令人称奇的是，那座天下闻名的乐山大佛雕，恰好耸立在巨佛的胸脯上。这尊世界最高最大的石刻坐佛，身高71米，安坐于巨佛前胸，正应了佛教所谓“心中有佛”、“心即是佛”的禅语，这是否为乐山大佛所暗示的天机呢？

1994年在乐山首届国际旅游“大佛节”上，潘鸿忠又慧眼识佛。6月5日，“大佛节”降下帷幕后，潘鸿忠来到大佛处观瞻道别，没曾想这一道别又道出个惊奇来。

当天下午3时半，他在游船上再次细细揣摩“佛是一座山”的景观，大佛左右两座“石龛天王”引起了他的注意。这两座分别为12米和14米高的龛内石浮雕，与大佛佛脚两边向上翘起的约12米高的莲花座，不正好是一个巨大的“心”字么？

乐山巨佛作为旅游景观是确定无疑了。那么，它是怎么形成的呢？这是留给世人的一谜。现在有一种推断：据《史记·河渠书》记载：“蜀守冰凿离堆，辟沫水之害。”“冰”即李冰，都江堰的创建者，“离堆”就是乌尤山。那么，在2100多年前古人就凿开麻浩河，造就了巨佛的头。唐代僧人惠净为乌尤寺立下法规：任何人不得随意挪动和砍伐乌尤山的一草一木一石一树，代代僧众都视此为神圣不可违犯之法规。因而才保证乌尤山林木繁茂，四季常青，使“佛头”千年完美无损。

但据研究乐山大佛文化和文物部门的专家们介绍，迄今为止，还没有发现和听说关于巨佛的文字记载和民间传说。那么，巨佛是纯属山形地貌的巧合吗？为何佛体全身，人工的刀迹斧痕比比皆是呢？为什么1200多年前，唐代开元年间的海通法师劈山雕凿乐山大佛，偏偏选中了凌云山西壁的栖鸾峰，并雕在巨佛心胸处呢？

再有“福全门”之谜也费人心思，要看到楚楚动人的巨佛身影，其最佳位置只有“福全门”。其他任何一处观赏的效果都不是最好，或者看上去身首异处；或是佛头不清；或是佛身不全。是不是先人故隐玄机，以“福”喻“佛”，其寓意指唯在此处，才可观赏到巨佛全身？

Buying Junk Silver Coins In Junk Silver Bags

2011-09-05T13:39:00.003+08:00

Junk coins are generally lower priced than silver bullion coins. You can buy junk silver coins without any premium over spot silver.

Dealers usually sell junk silver coins in lots, or "junk silver bags" of varying price and size. The name "junk silver bags" developed in the 1970s and was used to describe a bag of average circulated silver coins. Usually junk silver bags contain either all dimes, quarters, or half dollars and no mixed junk silver bags offered.

Because of their circulated condition, there's no particular need to protect each individual coin. Junk silver bags sold by dealers typically contain silver junk coins for the amount between $1000 and $10000 in face value. Junk silver bag with $1000 face value contains approximately 715 ounces of silver (for 90% junk coins).

Junk silver prices of coins in bags will move up or down with the daily spot silver price.

You can buy junk silver bags from local dealers or online. eBay is a good source for buying junk silver bags. Almost any amount (from $5 dollars to $1,000 dollars) can be found on eBay and you can often find bargains on Ebay. In addition to U.S. junk coins, you can find junk silver bags from all over the world (Canadian coins, Australian coins, Chinese coins and so on).

Also you can buy junk silver bags from dealers like Lynn Coins, C.C. Silver & Gold Inc., CMI Gold & Silver and MONEX, COMEX or APMEX.

You can expect to pay a little more for half-dollar junk coin than for junk silver dime or quarter because of the higher silver content. Half-dollars coins also are much more popular among collectors and investors. Another reason is fewer silver half-dollars were minted than junk silver quarters and dimes.

What Is Junk Silver Coins?

2011-09-05T13:25:00.001+08:00

Junk silver coin is the numismatic term refers to worn circulated silver coin. Junk silver coins are usually not silver bullion coins like American Silver Eagles, Mexican Silver Libertad coins or Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins. In the most cases junk silver coins contain from 40% to 90% of pure silver.

Junk silver coins do not have any collector's value because there are signs of wear and tear, scratch marks, nasty nicks etc. The value of junk silver coin lies in the silver content of the coin.

For example, the U.S. silver coin, minted before 1965, is often called junk silver coin. These coins have at least 40% - 90% silver content, depending on type of coins. Before 1965, silver coins were 90% silver and 10% copper. This was soon reduced to 40% silver content, and now U.S. coins have no silver content at all.

Although the junk silver dime coins are not very valuable to coin collectors, they do have value because of their obvious silver content. Depending on the price of silver, the value can be quite substantial over face value for a worn out pre-1964 silver quarter or dime silver junk coin. Although there will be wear and tear on the silver junk coin the silver content is still usually about 99% intact, making the junk silver coin worth way more than face value of the coin.

It is very rare to find pre-1965 silver dime, quarter, haft, dollar coins in circulation anymore as many people have searched for them and banks have started using automatic sorting machines that set the coins with the silver content aside.

Advantage of .999 Pure Silver Bars

2011-09-05T13:21:00.001+08:00

Buying these bars is a great way of accumulating silver and storing it (and gold bullion bars are a great way of accumulating gold too). The premium you pay over spot silver is much less than the premium on 1-oz silver coins or 1-oz silver rounds and the silver value of course will continue to grow.

Usually bullion bars have from $1 to $2 above spot silver price if you are buying small bullion bars like 1-oz or 10-oz silver bars. But if you are buying 100-oz bars, the premium over silver spot price can be as low as 50 cents. Bullion silver bars are the cheapest form of silver compared to numismatic or government silver coins.

.999 pure silver bars are recognized around the world as a trading medium and are therefore very liquid especially 100-oz silver bars.

Investing In Silver Bullion Bars

2011-09-05T13:19:00.002+08:00

Silver bars are very popular investment because they have uniform sizes, convenient to store and handle. These bars can be stored in bank vaults, which they often are, or even in your own home or office, although, for the larger silver bars (100-oz silver bars and the larger), that is not recommended. Pure silver bars can be used in an IRA account according to the IRS and can make an excellent addition to a retirement fund.

The 1000-oz silver bullion bar is considered the industry standard and usually used for trading and storage, but can also be taken for personal delivery, although this is not particularly recommended. The weight of these bullion products can vary by up to 10% above or below the 1000 ounces but each bar is stamped to certify its weight. When such a bar is sold to individuals his price is adjusted according to the actual weight of the bar.

The 100-oz silver bar is usually used for individual purchases. The big advantage with 100-oz bars is the low premium over spot silver price making it a viable purchase for the individual investor. 100-oz silver bars are easy to transport and can be sold anytime.

The larger the bullion bar you can afford to buy the lower the premium on a bar you pay. The premium covers the manufacturing costs and profit for the mint or dealer. 1-oz and 10-oz bars have the highest premium over spot silver price and cannot be recommended for investing.

Where To Buy Silver Bullion Bars

One can also go to your local gold and silver bullion coins dealers. They often sell silver bullion bars as well.

It is possible to buy silver bars at auction as well. On eBay, for example, you can find sellers who offer silver products like silver bars and silver coins. You can find silver bullion bars from one gram up to 100 oz. I recommend you always check the seller’s feedback before buying on Ebay.

You can also buy silver bars from the sites of the largest online precious metals dealers and of course from such sites as APMEX or COMEX.
