How Santa does it...from a scientific point of view

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Here's an important scientific paper that describes how Santa does it. You will surely appreciate this important document from the U.S. Federal government Physics web site:

Sounds to me like the federal government would spend about 30 billion dollars on this study, give of take a couple of billion at taxpayers expense.

While that all sounds mighty scientific, I heard the real scoop last week from a reliable source who said she had heard it somewhere. Her information said that when the last child goes to sleep on Christmas Eve, Santa simply stops time. He then delivers all of the presents at a leisurely pace. His last task for the evening is to start the clocks back up as he heads home to the North Pole.

The time zone thing does kind of raise some questions about how all of the children around the world can be asleep at the same time, but I'm sure someone with enough clout to make time stand still can figure out the details. The simplest approach, I suppose, would be to divide the world into 24 zones along lines of longitude and handle one at a time.

And all of this time I thought it was just magic.
