Is There A Santa Claus? Myth Busted For Kids Around The Globe . Must Read !!!!

is there a Santa Claus?
No known species of reindeer can fly. However, there are
hundreds of thousands, even millions of species of living
organisms yet to be classified. While most of these are
insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out
flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.
There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world.
Since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu,
Jewish & Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to
15% of the total - 378 million according to Population
Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5
children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One
presumes there's at least one good child in each.
Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with. This is due
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/second.
This is to say that for each Christian household with good
children, Santa has .001 seconds 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 million 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/household, a
total trip of 75.5 million miles; not counting stops to do
what most of us must do at least once ever 31 hours, plus
feeding etc.
So Santa's sleigh must be moving at 650 miles/second,
3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of
comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on the earth, the
Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per
second. A conventional reindeer can run, TOPS, 15 miles/
hour.
The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element.
Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-
size Lego set (2 lb.); 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
lbs. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see above) could
pull 10 TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with
8, or even 9 reindeer. We need 214,200. This increases the
payload - not counting the weight of the sleigh to 353,430
tons. This is four times the weight of the ocean-liner Queen
Elizabeth!!!
353,00 tons traveling at 650 miles/second creates
enormous air resistance. This will heat the reindeer up in the
same fashion as a spacecraft reentering 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 creating deafening
sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be
vaporized within .00426th of a second. Meanwhile, Santa
will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times
greater than gravity, A 250 lb Santa (seems ludicrously slim)
would be pinned to the back of this sleigh by 4,315,015 lbs.
of force.
Therefore, if Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas
Eve ... he's dead now.
Merry Christmas!
