Lego Sculpture Santa’s Reindeer

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Now Vincent Pace saves the day. He’s come up with a great MOC of Santa, his sleigh, and a whole complement of reindeer – including Rudolph with a trans-red 1×1 round plate for a nose. He’s used white droid arms for antlers, and they’re all harnessed together to an excellent red and green sleigh complete with toys.

Santa’s reindeer travel at a speed of 3,604 miles per second in order to deliver presents to the world’s 2.5 billion homes. Only Santa Claus can explain how this is done… Larsson estimated there are 120 people per square mile on Earth, with 66 feet between each home. Assuming Santa is all-faith-inclusive, leaves from Kyrgyzstan, and travels against the Earth’s rotation, he has 48 hours to deliver all the presents, while spending 34 microseconds at each stop. Some scientists speculate that Santa’s sleigh, weighed down with metric tons of presents while traveling at supersonic speed, would encounter such massive air resistance it would be vaporised in a firey inferno within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Thus, the mystery of Santa’s technology lives on.

Happy Holidays!

Have you ever asked yourself about how Santa gets his reindeer?  Well we ran into Donner and Blitzen while they were pulling folks around just outside the historic Salem Church out in the country north of Paynesville, MN.  In this story you’ll learn about what its takes to raise and train a reindeer to pull Santa’s sleigh.

It Takes a Real Girl to Pull a Sleigh!

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Karen Saunders uncovers a little-known fact in her article: Wildlife experts ponder gender of Santa’s reindeer! Shedding a few antlers of light on exactly who’s pulling Santa Claus’ Sleigh, Greg Finstad, who manages the Reindeer Research Program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks tells us: Young steers finish shedding their antlers in February and March, just as non-expecting females do. Bulls generally lose theirs before Christmas, while expectant mothers retain their antlers until calves are birthed in the spring. This allows them to protect food resources through harsh weather and to have enough for developing fetuses. Bulls typically shed their fuzzy protrusions BEFORE Christmas.

So probably Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and even Rudolph, despite the masculine-sounding name, are all females. We’ll just like the Utah’s Mighty Cheetahs Girls Soccer Team and Katelyn Bouyssou, a Scituate girl, 14, who wrestles and beats boys, the power of “girls” is not always appreciated.
