Happy Holidays

4 min read
With turkey and stuffing festering deep in our intestines, causing future diabetes and heart diseases one knows that Christmas is just a short ways away.

Now I'd like to share with you one of my favorite Christmas carols.

"I am pleased to present a scientific inquiry into the existence of Santa Claus.

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.

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 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, thanks 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 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 poky 27.4 miles per second. A conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.

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" 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.

353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per 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 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 17,500.09 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."

...And plans are under way... :)

Tried to draw Junon but gave up when she didn't come out right. She's a bit complex for my level anyway. If you didn't play DF and don't know who the hell she is then here is the reference picture I've been using (You'll have to cut and paste the url).

I think I'll try writing for a bit. Here are some ideas that I have (Which I probably won't complete) along with their working titles-

CCR vs DDR
Poem/Song which is made up of lines from songs from either Creedence Clearwater Revival and Dance Dance Revolution.

Green, black and blue,
Comin' down on a sunny day
And high upon the hills
Through the circle, fast and slow

Yesterday, and days before
I've been searching in the woods
'Til forever, on it goes
Just to find, to find my samurai

I'm your little butterfly,
Been that way for all my time
Where's my samurai, I wonder
Sun is cold, I need my samurai


The Berenstain bears free Tibet
Brother, Sister, Papa, and Mama Bear help the Dalai Lama fight off Communist Chinese forces. Features the ghost of Mao and a cameo by Confucius.

Other ideas featuring these trade marked characters include The Berenstain bears and the Illuminati, The Berenstain bears commit vehicular manslaughter and The Berenstain bears go into witness protection

Leviticulicious fellatio
Religious story not suitable for children under 7.   

Maybe you'd like to see some artists that are actually rad:

Originally found this place thanks to the radawesome Deviantartist Master-penguin over at GameFAQs.com while talking about Final Fantasy Tactics. After some time I barrowed (Stole) a scanner and started uploading things here.

Yeah sorry for the lack of anything actually good, I only picked up a pencil and started to take drawing seriously about three weeks ago. If you actually want to see what I do somewhat well at (Writting guides, taking VG screenshots) head over to GameFAQs.com, IGN.com, Neoseeker.com, PSXCodez.com, Cherryroms.com, Inferiority.org (My stuff might be down, haven't checked) and sooner or later (Lazy ass Rey) VGMuseum.com

Possible drawing ideas-
From VGs:
-Empress Junon from Dragon Force
-Vice (N route) from Tactics Ogre: Lut Us Cling Together
-Samus Aran from the Metroid series
-Marth from Fire Emblem
-Godai (Tex) from the Nekketsu Kunio-Kun (River City Ransom) Series
-Bub from Bubble Bobble
-Duran from Seiken Densetsu 3
-Meythia from SaGa Frontier 2
-A FOmar from Phantasy Star On-line
-Cyberfairy from Timesplitters 2
-Jack from Nightmare before Christmas/Kingdom Hearts

Cold Wolves (Those naked portraits of original nobodies I keep drawing):
Morgan Ampztar - Sapper
Zenetal Oxwroth - Cleric
Zedzer Lagoona - Berserker/Prince
Imoto Sakura - Marksman/Chemist
Chad Reckguard - Samurai
Vedarena Garison - Rogue
Zark Atlis - Knight
Nelson Lionheart - Geomancer

Characters based on friends:
Link Valentine
Duo Yang (Sophia)
Grant Hamming (Pipkin)
Alvin Ferenz (based on Owvin)

Now playing: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (Rom)

Game wish list: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Kingdom Hearts, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Fat chance of the last two as I went with a GC and am too lazy to buy another system.)

VG Gameguide Ideas-
Sid and Al's incrediable toon machine (PC) - FAQs/Walkthrough
Final Fantasy 6 (SNES/PSX) - Ending Guide
Need to update my Wily Wars and Tactics Ogre guides

Maybe you'd like to see some artists that are actually rad:
