A'Hearn" Subject: In the holiday spirit... In the holiday spirit..... for those who are analytically inclined to prove EVERYTHING... As a result of an overwhelming lack of requests, and with research help from that renowned scientific journal SPY magazine (January, 1990) - I am pleased to present the annual scientific inquiry into Santa Claus. 1) No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen. 2) There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish & Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each. 3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with. This is due to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits/second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has .001 second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles/household, a total trip of 75.5 million miles; not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding & etc. So Santa's sleigh must be moving at 650 miles/second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles/second. A conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles/hour. 4) The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 lb.), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 lb. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see #1) could pull 10 TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with 8, or even 9 reindeer. We need 214,200. This increases the payload - not counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. This is four times the weight of the ocean-liner Queen Elizabeth. 5) 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles/second creates enormous air resistance. This will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as a spacecraft reentering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 0.00426 of a second. Meanwhile, Santa, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-lb. Santa (seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 lb. of force. If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now. Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 08:18:58 -0500 From: "Dexter E. Gulledge" Subject: Highways Received from a colleague A cop pulls over a car load of nuns.... Cop: "Sister, this is a 65 MPH highway -- why are you going so slow?" Sister: "Sir, I saw a lot of signs that said 22, not 65." Cop: "Oh sister, that's not the speed limit, that's the name of the highway you're on! Sister: "Oh! Silly me! Thanks for letting me know. I'll be more careful. At this point the cop looks in the backseat where the other nuns are shaking and trembling. Cop: "Excuse me, Sister, what's wrong with your friends back there? They're shaking something terrible." Sister: "Oh, we just got off of highway 119." jtb@nh.ultranet.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 08:28:09 -0600 From: "Gregory R.

I think it rather funny (if corny). My humble translation follows: ___ En un examen de zoologia, el profesor In a zoology exam, the professor le entrega a un alumno una pata de gives a student a bird's foot and pajaro y le dice: tells him: - A la vista de esta extremidad, ha By visual examination of this ex- de decirme la familia, el genero y tremity, you must tell me the la especie del animal, asi como sus family, genus, and species of the costumbres migratorias y el numero animal as well as its migratory de crias por nidada. habits and the number of fledglings per nesting.

Because if they did, then Illinois would want one too. Note: The Chicago Bears have a 2-11 record in the NFL, the second worst this season _________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 09:24:56 EST From: SueS7 Subject: Stephen King on writing (f-word) Just a bit of inspiration for any of you who are writing (or reading) end of the term papers from the master horror novelist Stephen King.... >From "The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition" copyright 1990 by Stephen King: "When asked, 'How do you write' I invariably answer, 'One word at a time,' and the answer is invariably dismissed. But that is all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 09:48:38 EST From: JOHN STONE Subject: Humor:offensive to New Yorkers Four guys were walking down the street: a Saudi, a Russian, a North Korean, and a New Yorker. A reporter comes running up and says, "Excuse me,what is your opinion about the meat shortage?" The Saudi says, "Excuse me, what's a shortage?" The Russian says, "Excuse me, what's meat?" The North Korean says, "Excuse me, what's an opinion?" The New Yorker, says, "Excuse me?? What's excuse me? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 10:28:00 -0600 From: "Ken Brousseau Sr." Subject: Humor - Weird Business News By Jim Barlow: Holidays bring out creative marketing.

If you loose to much and the owner is thinking about firering you the anger will let you become invinsible and win the championchip 2. Bad players get better if you pep talk them before the last bat etc 3. If you have one player on each base and has two strikes against you, you will make a home run 4. If you are down 2 or 3 goals before the last period of the game(goes for hockey). Your game will turn the game around and eaqulize with 15 seconds to go and score the winning goal with 1 seconds left in the game 5. If you kick someone in the groin(american fotball) there is no penalty 6. If the bad guys do the same they are out of the game. 7. Goes for every movie. The hero always win, even if he is a boxer half the size of his opponent ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 15:40:18 +0000 From: Jack Shea Subject: Rabbit and weather forecast Mother rabbit to baby bunny...."A Magician pulled you out of a hat !" Now stop asking questions." ============================ Watching the Weather Channel on Tuesday of this week I was convulsed with laughter when I got to the sentence..... "...and the tempatures will hoover around....." I guess that says it clear enough...the weather this late fall REALLY SUCKS ! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 21:00:57 EST From: Bill Edwards Subject: Brickbats: Cynical funnies (especially about marriages) This is a delicate time of year for me. At family gatherings, I've got to appear successful, but I've got to poor mouth just enough so no one will try to hit me up for a loan. My son's pediatrician plays miniature golf on Wednesdays. Seen on a church sign: "Where will you spend eternity? Smoking or No Smoking?" Please refresh my memory. Just who did win the Gulf War? I'm sorry, but since we women buy the groceries, fix your meals, clean your houses, do your laundry, have your kids, and hold down jobs to help you pay the bills, we just naturally assumed you needed help picking out your clothes. Behind every successful marriage, there is a very surprised mother-in-law. The best way to keep a busband is in doubt. Not all wives are suspicious--some are certain. When a man sees yee to eye with his wife, it means that his vision has been corrected. When a wife insists on wearing the pants, some other woman wears the fur coat. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 18:36:53 -0800 From: Steven & Susan Subject: fly story (naughty word) There was a fly buzzing around a barn one day when he happened to find a pile of fresh cow manure. Due to the fact that it had been hours since his last meal, he flew down and began to eat. He ate and ate and ate. Finally, he decided he had eaten enough and tried to fly away. He had eaten too much though, and could not get off the ground. So he looked around wondering what to do now, he spotted a pitchfork leaning up against the barn. He climbed to the top of the handle and jumped off, thinking that once he got airborne, he would be able to take flight. Unfortunately he was wrong and dropped like a rock, splattering when he hit the floor. The moral of the story: Never fly off the handle when you're full of shit. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 03:21:12 -0600 From: Brian Kim Subject: Before they Hatch! Please don't flame me for this one, I heard it from a friend. ____________________________________________ One day, a man was driving a truck full of bowling balls. He was delivering a shipment to a certain bowling alley. There was also a man outside in a rocking chair on the front porch of his house. He had a cane and a long beard. He just sat there quietly until, the truck driver, didn't notice the nail on the ground and it popped his tire with so much force that the back doors on the truck broke off leaving the bowling balls to spill all over the ground. The old man steps out and starts whacking the bowling balls with his cane. The driver, luckily, was unhurt. When he came out, he asked the man what he was doing. The old man replied, "C'mon! Help me kill the niggers before they hatch!" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Dec 1997 09:30:39 -0500 From: Chalapathi Rao Poduri Subject: Factory Tour A fellow is going on a tour of a factory that produces various latex products. At the first stop, he is shown the machine that manufactures baby-bottle nipples. The machine makes a loud hiss-pop! noise. "The hiss is the rubber being injected into the mold," explains the guide. "The popping sound is the needle poking a hole in the end of the nipple." Later, the tour reaches the part of the factory where condoms are manufactured. The machine makes a noise: 'Hiss. Hiss. Hiss. Hiss-pop!" "Wait a minute!" says the man taking the tour, "I understand what the 'hiss, hiss,' is, but what's that 'pop!' every so often?" "Oh, it's just the same as in the baby-bottle nipple machine," says the guide. "It pokes a hole in every fourth condom." "Well, that can't be good for the condoms!" "Yeah, but it's great for the baby-bottle nipple business!" Chalapathi :O) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 22:34:07 -0600 From: Antonio Oliveros Fernandez Subject: ON THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME...
