Santa's a juicer. He couldn't do what he does if he wasn't.

Indeed! Wonder what juice he gives to his reindeers especially. After all, his average speed should be close to 5 million km/hr.

Despite their appearance, they are exceptionally aero and have no rolling resistance.

And I suspect Rudolf's red nose was caused by heating from air friction.

Glad to see this has become a light-hearted thread. I never posted the link with the intention of stirring up an old hornets nest - a did he, didn't he argument.

And I think you guys missed the point with the reindeers; at the height they fly there isn't much air anyway so rolling resistance doesn't enter the equation, and Rudolf's nose only glows red upon re-entry into the earth's atmosphere.

Maybe Frenchy will offer some advice here to the reindeers regarding the carrying of a heavy load in such cold temperatures. On second thoughts, perhaps they only breathe through their noses. Tyson

You mean drag or air resistance. I'll bet that they suffer some reduction of speed from friction on their hooves. But yet friction is what's needed to have any sort of speed so...

I think you mean traction!

Didn't know Santa was an astronaut nor did I know he did anaerobic training.

The sad thing is, there are Puerto documents with the initials "S.C.". But apparently, all of Santa's samples are frozen. All the time.

I thought I heard he does weights to help with the chimney climbing.

I think he does need to do some more SST though:

I certainly think there's room for the introduction of the JQ (Jolly Quotient) in the next version of WKO+.

In December 2001, SC failed a drug test, despite his pre-Christmas claims of being completely clean with not even a TUE. Given that following 9-11 a hero was needed, SC was allowed to supply a postdated prescription and the authorities exonerated him.

This thread has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. I mean, Santa doesn't exist - does he?

Or is this him?
