Sapo, Yor_on and a red neck from Georgia were in Boston applying for a job. After all 3 got a perfect score. The HR dept. came up with a test to help them decide who gets the job. They were taken down the hall and a door was opened to a dimly lit room, and after 10 seconds the door was closed. Inside the room they saw a naked blond woman laying on her stomach, on a cot. Standing at the foot of the cot was a naked man. After the door was closed the test administrator ask the question :

What is the man's name?

They had 24 hours to answer. Sapo ran out the grabbed a taxi and went to MIT jumped on the worlds fasted computer and spent the whole night working on the problem. Yor_on went to Harvard and started entering all that he saw into the worlds largest computer. He also worked all night. The red neck walked out and went to a bar and drank till about 10:00 then went back to his hotel room and went to sleep.

The next day at the test, both Sapo and Yor_on told the administrator that to spite working on this problem all night that they had no answer. The redneck spoke up and said that he had the first name when he first saw it,, but even with the help of his Dell notebook he couldn't decide on one of two possibilities for the last name.

So the man's name has to be either,,,,
(I will post the answer in a bit if no one gets it correct )

ah well. And instead of 'elevating' music we offer you this simple reminder of what Xristmas is all about.. While we're waiting...

Is There A Santa Claus?



I
No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.

II
There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 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.

III
Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming hetravels 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 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 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 pokey 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.

IV
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.

V
353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as space crafts 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 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 - If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now! "
