I've been crunching the numbers, and the concept of Santa Claus doesn't add up

  Maybe I'm overly skeptical after years of having been lied to by the WT....but from a purely logistical standpoint, the idea that he could cover the amount of territory necessary in the amount of time allotted, just doesn't seem feasible.

  Now, granted, there are certain variables in the equation that are highly speculative, such as the speed he would be travelling at. It's quite possible that reindeer travel faster through the air than by land, maybe quite faster. But even if we assume he is travelling the speed of a lear jet, and you factor in all the differen't time zones, I still don't see how he has enough time to complete his task.

  Am I missing something, or is the story totally bogus?

  No Room For George

  Considering the awful holiday music playing in Macys tonight, even if he does exist, I'd like knock to knock his teeth out. If he comes through for me and gives me the red hed girl from Devil's Advocate, I'll believe in him. Ditto on Jehovah and Jesus too, and even Jahesua Miscajah. May you mofos have peace!!!

  Ahem....

  If some guy named "Noah" can cram 6 million+ animals - many of whom would require a LOOOONG ocean voyage to get to in the first place - into a tiny wooden box made out of acacia wood, carry enough food and fresh water along to take care of ALL of those animals for a YEAR, and somehow keep the PREDATORS on the ark from making 'snacks' out of the other 'passengers'....

  Then what Santa does in a night is a piece of cake - er, platter of cookies with milk!!

  It's all done by M - A - G - I - C !!!

  I figured out how he does it. He makes time stand still. Yes, he freezes it just like Samantha Stevens used to freeze people so she could talk to Endora and Uncle Arthur. Once he visits every household that believes in him, he unfreezes time. I believe in Santa Clause, ever' bit.

  Black Sheep

  It's the same trick Joshua used to make the sun stand still. Nothing special. Magical beings do it all the time. I've seen something similar on Star Trek.

  NORAD also has an interest in this and is tracking Santa's movements as we speak.

  man oh man

  Listen, I had a blast as a kid finding all that stuff from Santa. Now, I can tell you how he does it, he gets a little help from all those parents. And just a little bit of that stuff that the wts just hates.......magic!!!! Of course the magic is really just "love".

  I enjoyed the christmas music on the way home from work tonight. Remembered a lot of the words. Its weird, after learning the truth about the troof I seem to feel like I have rid myself of superstition. Strange but nice free feeling.

  Well at least we know the christmas thing is all made up, you know make believe. Unlike the fairy tale we all use to live and thought was real.

  But most of all thinking of those old times just brings back the wonder feeling of being with my family. Treasured memories indeed!!

  Man I am starting to feel all warm and fuzzy. Think I will go watch the Waltons.
