[cspyro21]

Katahu..you have too much spare time on your hands......
Only joking, but HOW LONG did it take you to work that one out!!!! its shocking!!!
But nice work all the same, much appreciated.
Next time we catch our parents dressed as Santa we can tell them to by hasty - as they only have 1/1000th of a second to get to the next house.
Cheers  ;)

A friend of mine gave me a printed copy of this whole thing. I had to hand type the whole thing because I can't find the site to copy and paste. Took me about half an hour because my typing is about 48 words per minute and my hands are not even using the QWERTY style of style of typing. My hands just fly around the keyboard like flies.

I use two fingers myself, or one if I happen to be eating at the same tme. Very slowly cos I'm the world's worst typist. After posting I invariably find a large number of typos which means going back & correcting them. This is the reason that you will see very few of my posts that are unedited. I'm hoping this will be one of them.

What's that, Hagar? Did I just catch you using incorrect English ON PURPOSE?

Obviously Santa is on to something we don't know about- the reindeer are just for show; he's messing with spacetime on a very basic level... some kind of spacetime- bubble generator, allowing relativistic speeds without the nasty side-effects.
 No proof, of course, but  it'd be very hard to disprove.
I still believe, because even after I figured out where my folks stashed the presents before Xmas Eve, causing them to have to admit that yes, they bought the presents, there was always at least one gift marked "From Santa". Sure his handwriting looked a lot like my mother's, but heck, I was able to duplicate her signature later (very handy for dealing with the principal's office at school!), so why couldn't Santa Claus do it?

So . . . you're saying . . . Santa's dead?

Nice maths.

So . . . you're saying . . . Santa's dead?

Yep.





Btw it is true 'cause, (sorry to burst your bubble Travis ), he has a grave as this poor kid found out.... (that boy is used everywhere).
