If ur kids wont believe santas real...

right christmas dosent exist.

heres an engineers report to varify this.

 

There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18 ) in the

world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu,

Jewish or Buddhist (except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the

workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million

(according to the population reference bureau). At an average (census) rate of

3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming

there is at least one good child in each.

 

Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the

different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming east to west

(which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is

to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has

around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the

chimney, fill the stocking, distribute the remaining presents under the

tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the

chimney, jump into the sleigh and get onto the next house.

 

Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed

around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept

for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78

miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting

bathroom stops or breaks.

This means Santa’s sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second--3,000

times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man made

vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per

second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour.

 

The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming

that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized LEGO set (two

pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousands tons, not counting Santa

himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300

pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer can pull 10 times the

normal amount, the job can’t be done with eight or even nine of

them---Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting

the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times

the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch).

 

600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air

resistance—this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a

spacecraft re-entering the earth’s atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer

would adsorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short,

they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the

reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The

entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a

second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip.

 

Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating

from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in .001 seconds, would be subjected to

acceleration forces of 17,000 g’s. A 250 pound Santa (which seems

ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015

pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him

to a quivering blob of pink goo. Therefore, if Santa did exist, he’s

dead now.

im not even gonna read that.........there is always someone out to spoil my day

Did you not know that Santa has the ability to slow down time or stop it all together if he wanted?

 

What seems like 31 hours to us (due to the rotation of the Earth or what ever) is infact 6 months in Santas life.
