Some Christmas Cheer.
I will first apologise to anyone reading this post that believes in Santa: This post will shatter yor dreams like a crystal wine glass dropped off the top of the Empire State Building.

I recieved this in an email a few days ago. Enjoy.
There are approximately two billion children (persons under18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim,Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist (except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (accordingto the population reference bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is at least one good child in each.
Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000thof a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stocking, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get onto the next house. Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles,not counting bathroom stops or breaks.
This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second--3,000 timesthe speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man made vehicle,the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour. The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized LEGO set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousands tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the 'flying' reindeer can pull 10 times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them---Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons,or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch).
600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance-this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would adsorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip. Not that it matters, however,since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s.in .001 seconds, would be subjected to acceleration forces of 17,000 g's.A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo.
Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now.
A field day for skeptics, PackMule.

My Crowded Employment
On friday the [insert date here] of december, I worked my first shift, on my first job ever. I spent a gruelling 3 hours in the deli department of a coles supermarket.
I learnt to serve ham, chicken, salad, to wash the chicken roasting machines. To serve customers, to wrap and slice and fold and stick and print food specific labels.
to price and lick and spit into the food cabinets and.......[insert sounds of a seriously messy and bloody stabbing here, lots of screams etc]
I'll just stop typing now, PackMule.

The Most Recent Post
The title of this post is quite incorrect, as when I make a more recent post, the title of this post will become meaningless and confusing.
I'll just shut up now.
Apart from that, Not the Herald Sun has told me to start plugging my band so here is our masthead.
Our influences are Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, Led Zepplin, Metallica and Motorhead (I'm currently listening to "jailbait").
Suck Some Rock.
Yours sincerely wasting away, PackMule.
PS: If any of you fuck-tards out there take this masthead and do anything to it, you will wake up with your balls ( or not, whatever works for you chicks) in a vice.
