This is one of those long ones but it is worth a read, whether you like Xmas or not. I got it on an Email. If Santa did exist, he's dead now. 'EXPLAINED' Santa - By Calculation!  There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the  world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu,  Jewish  or Buddhist (except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the workload  for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million according to the  population reference bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5  children  per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is at  least  one good child in each. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work  with,  thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth,  assuming  east to west (which seems logical).  This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each  Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000 th of a  second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the  stocking, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever  snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the  sleigh  and get onto the next house.  Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed  around  the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for  the  purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per  household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops  or breaks. This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second-  3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest  man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a pokey 27.4 miles  per  second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour.  The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming  that  each child gets nothing more than a medium sized LEGO set (two pounds),  the  sleigh is carrying over 500 thousands tons, not counting Santa himself. On  land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds.  Even granting that the "flying" reindeer can pull 10 times that normal  amount, the job can't be done with eight or even NINE of them-Santa  would  need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the  weight of  the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of  the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch). 600,000 tons travelling at  650  miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this would heat up  the  reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth's  atmosphere.  The lead pair of reindeer would adsorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy  per  second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost  instantaneously,  exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in  their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporised within 4.26  thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth  house on his trip. Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of  accelerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in .001 seconds, would be  subjected to acceleration forces of 17,000 g's. A 250 pound Santa (which  seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by> 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and  reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo.  Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now.  Merry Christmas |

Reasons why Christmas and the holidays suck 1. Where I live(Newfoundland) it snows.....alot....like last year was the worst winter I have ever seen 2. People acting happy when they are not 3. Christmas music (shudder) 4. People saying "Merry Christmas" 5 million times a day 5. More snow |
