[REPOST] Problems with Audio
This week, it’s a bit of a strange podcast, with Martin Mill’s out on the road recording the best of whatever he does. So we have cows for the most part, talking about video games, and also Fo Shizzel with the Queen.

1. There are approximately 2 billion children in the world. Since Santa does not visit Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, or Buddhist children, this reduces the workload to 15 per cent of the total, or 378 million. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes.
2. Thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, Santa has about 31 hours to work with. This works out to 967.7 visits per second and a total trip of 75.5 million miles. So Santa’s sleigh has to move at 650 miles per second.
3. Assuming that each child gets only a medium-sized Lego set (2lb), the sleigh is carrying more than 500,000 tons. A reindeer can pull no more than 300lb. Even if the “flying” reindeer could pull ten times that, Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload another 54,000 tons.
4. 600,000 tons travelling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each; they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousands of a second, or about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip. Not that it matters, however, since Santa would be subjected to centrifugal forces of 17,500 Gs. A 250lb Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015lb of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs.
Therefore if Santa did exist, he’s dead now.
Do you ever get like an urge to eat food?
Despite the fact that sounds like a burger king advert, it isn’t and the reason for this post is, I really have the urge to eat doughnuts right about now.
It’s not any old food, not I feel hungry type food it’s certain types of food, like ages ago I had the craving for Coke, and then after that the craving for Pizza and so on.
Like here are some of the foods that I really want and would like to eat right now:
So I have the craving. Sometimes, and this is disgusting, I have the craving for McDonolds, I mean why on earth would I have the craving for that? Anyway, it’s all weird, and also just to brag I got a lot of lemonade recently, and I have had a lot of that when I won it from a school fate…3L.
And that’s all the food/drink I have really been wanting. Oh and I forgot to mention, that I live right next to a TESCO’s so it really doesn’t help if I keep going there for tasty jam doughnuts.
Wow, chrismas shopping is so random,
some weird things you see sometimes, well today I saw the most weird but wonderful present in the must unlikely type of shop to find this kind of stuff in…a spices shop.
It’s KitKat Jenga, aka Jenga with KitKats, I haven’t opened it yet seeing as it’s a present, but wow I wanted too. Here’s some pics:
