Question: How long has Bermuda been in the Caribbean & how did it get there?
Question Description:
Some years ago I lived there, and it was then in
the Atlantic. Many people, including Yahoo, are
under the impression that it is in the Caribbean
(see Categories). My question was, of course,
"tongue in cheek".

Answer#1: Actually, contrary to popular belief. Bermuda has
only been a part of the Caribbean since 1996. It
was originally part of a chain of Islands in the
north Atlantic that sunk a few years earlier.
Bermuda, then known as "The Magillicutty sand
spit" belonged to Lower Slobovia, as they had
claimed the chain of Islands in a treaty with the
Former USSR in1916. After the displacing of the
continental shelf, the rest of chain sank and in
the esuing kaos a group of Bermudans, who were
visiting the Island at the time, Simply attached
large chains to the Island and dragged down the
coast to it's present geographical location. hope
this helps..R.
Answer#2: I would say it has been removed from the Caribbean
and moved to a location 1100 miles northeast of
Miami, and to the south of Nova Scotia. This
location is a little to the north of the
Caribbean. Maybe if Bermuda has recently been in
the Caribbean then continental drift has become
much faster. By Christmas, Bermuda will reach the
north pole and begin a rapid journey south.
Answer#3: About the same time that the little green men put
the moon next to earth and made it out of
cheese.Groan.
Answer#4: a long time ago it was towed there by the Spanish
so that they couls store there redundant slaves
there
Answer#5: Well... Europeans didn't want an island around
them, so they shipped it off to the caribbean and
turned it into a tourist trap.What do you meam how
did it get there? What kind of question is that?
