There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

I never believed in him because I never had a chimney.

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

He isn't real?!?


Whose lap was I sitting on then?!?

Does this mean that you won't be coming back to visit this year?

I'll have to make alternate plans if not.
Depends, will I still get that toy train?

  • 11.27.2012 2:35 PM PDT

-blam!- YOU CHARLIE!

I grew up knowing he wasn't real. Also not being afraid of the dark either. I made my whole kindergarten class break down into tears when I said it. I think they suspended me. :P

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

What do you mean 'not real'?

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas kids!

I never believed in santa.

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

I never believed in Santa at all. Not saying I didn't have a bad childhood, I was always told "Santa is watching, if you're nice he'll bring you presents" or some other crap like that.

Just now :(

We're gonna fight, me and you. We know who's really right about this conversation. If you don't then let's think this through, with out fists. If that doesn't suit you, we can use pistols. How does this prove who's right?

Well, we both know I'll win, that's a damn fact.

I never thought there was a man that could travel either that fast or could fit in my chimney. So I mistrusted that idea.

Hell, I mistrusted loads of ideas. Kind of made me what I am. Odd, though, that I was the kid that just wanted to know how he got to get a sled flying that fast :/

In the way of part of the new Germany was Poland so Hitler and Stalin took it over so Germany could grow.

What.

I don't think I ever actually believed in it, but I think I started thinking about how dumb it was around 5.

You're a freaking idiot.

Warning: Wall of text.

Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks 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 per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a 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 millions 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 per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc.

This means that 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 on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.

The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), 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 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.

353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecraft re-entering 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 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

In conclusion. Santa is dead. Merry Christmas fools.
