Come on, people... Haven't any of you seen the movie, Clockstoppers? "A scientist invents a mechanism that speeds up any target that it hits to 25 times their normal speed, effectively making it seem to that person like time is standing still.

Santa has had one of those watches for Centuries!!! And you don't think he actually EATS all the milk and cookies, or mince pie and whiskey on CHRISTMAS EVE, do you?? He takes it all back to the North Pole to share with the elves, and even has enough left over to last him through the rest of the Winter! Oh yeah.... Just so that this is still Mapping related..... Our family has watched the GIS tracking of Santa at http://www.noradsanta.org for the past few years. They even have a telephone number that you (or your kids) can call to find out where he is. The Elves that they have assigned there in Colorado for the holiday are so nice! -----Original Message----- From: Terry McDonnell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 7:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MI-L Christmas competition Yeah, you've spoilt it for me too! 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: 14313
