I remember a few years ago my brother told me that he used to go on the net on Christmas eve, there was a web site somewhere (I don't know where, sorry) that will show on a map the location of Santa live by GPS!
Then when he was getting close to where they lived, It was time to say to the children " go to bed, he's coming!" That a cute use of GIS technology...

Although I WAS suspicious when I worked out that, if he stopped for a mince pie and whisky in every living room AND had to get up and down the chimney, not only would Christmas Eve take a thousand years but he'd weigh more than the moon - and he'd have to take numerous comfort stops on the way. PLUS, at the speed he'd need to travel, relativistic effects would come into play, so OUR time would accelerate compared to his - thus exacerbating the problem. But I thought "Ah, well!"...

What exactly do you mean by this? I dont understand. He visits everyone in person himself and dont let anyone tell you different. Doug. P.S. And dont forget that his best friend is the Easter Bunny who has a hard time getting down the chimney with those ears. --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14307 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14310
