The Ridge to Santa Claus: he was caught red-handed with their hands in the bag!
Grandfather: "There was once a giant Christmas tree ..."
The grandson, "You know what a drag."
The teacher wants to do a game with his students: "So, tell me the name of something round and hairy." Luigino raises his hand and says, "Fishing, sir." "Bravo Luigi." Maria also raises his hand and says, "kiwi". Then Peter gets up and says, "The Christmas balls." The teacher looks surprised and says, "But Peter! The Christmas balls are round, but not have hair. "And Peter, turning to his neighbor:" Come on, Christmas, take off your pants and show the balls to the mistress! "
Annual scientific inquiry about Santa Claus (assuming only and indivisible):
1) No known species of reindeer can fly. But there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified. Although most of these are insects and germs, this does not completely rule out the possibility of flying reindeer which only Santa himself, however, has ever seen.
2) There are two billion children, ie persons under the age of 18 in the world. However, d iven seems that Santa Claus does not visit children Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, etc.., That reduces the workload to about 15% of the total (378 million, according to the Office for Population). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that makes a total of 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each home.
3) Due to time zones and the rotation of the Earth, Santa has 31 hours to his work, assuming, as seems logical, which travels east to west. This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This means that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1 / 1000 a second to park, hop out of the sled, down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat and drink whatever was left (assuming at this point that Father Christmas is equipped with an appetite comparable to that of a black hole and is teetotal, or at least capable of supporting an infinite amount of alcohol, because otherwise he would have died of indigestion after a few stops, or at least would be drunk ...), back up the chimney, jump on sled and head to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which we know to be true, but for purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are talking about a mid-term space between two stops of about 1,154 km and a total trip of 112 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us do at least once every 31 hours, more food etc.. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 962 km / sec, that is 3000 times the speed of sound. By way of illustration, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, traveling at the speed of miserable 40.5 km / sec. A conventional reindeer can run up to 22 mph.
4) The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than an average Lego (900 grams), the sleigh will transported 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull 136 kg. Even granting that flying reindeer (see point 1) could pull ten times higher than that of a conventional reindeer, we can not do eight reindeer, or even nine. We will need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the gross weight of 353,400 tons, not counting the sleigh! Again, for comparison, this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.
5) The more than 353,000 tons traveling at 962 miles per second creates enormous air resistance, and this will heat the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft return to the atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy. Per second. For each reindeer. In short, the flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces of 17500.06 times to that of gravity. A Santa Claus of 113 kg, which seems ludicrously slim, it would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 1,957,420 kg of force. It is concluded that: If Santa has never tried to deliver gifts on Christmas Eve,
NOW AND 'DEAD.
