How Santa Does it:

[Shydragonchic]

How does Santa do it? That was the question of the night. I spent some time in Google and I\'ve found several theories. Some for, some against, here are the highlights:

Which one do you believe? Or, is there another answer?
Put on your thinking caps, we need new theories and explanations.

Well, you know how things increase in speed as they approach a large gravitational body, right? Well, Santa is pretty large, and thereby generates his own gravitational field... thereby, light bends as it approaches him, causing him to give off an \"invisible\" appearance (this is why you don\'t see him), and due to the immense gravitational conflicts between the Earth, the Moon, and Santa, he is also generating enough force that he can travel near the speed of light... which is why NORAD has been trying to track his progress for decades and has not yet been able to pinpoint his location.
How do the presents survive travelling at those speeds, even with the obvious friction buildup from particle bombardment as they travel through the lower atmosphere at such a high speed? Duh... Nomex bags hold the presents... and of course, the bags and Santa\'s suit conform to NFPA 1971 standards perfectly.

How could someone even question this??

I loved the ABC one.

"No wonder they call him Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer, as this enormous amount of energy would not only immediately make the lead reindeer burst into flames"

bet santa just sits around on his behind on christmas eve drinking beer and makes his wife deliver all the presents =p

Santa doesn\'t drink beer. He drinks hot chocolate. Since when did Santa ever drink beer? Wow, red, you need to learn the story of Santa. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /stare.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(stare)\' />
