Do you believe in Santa? Well, if there really was a Santa, then we’d need a Christmas Wishlist won’t we? Here’s mine, in no particular order:
Notice I do not have any motorsports-related items on my wishlist this year. It’s just me moving on, really. I’d ask for a Sparco helmet but there hasn’t been much events this year to warrant spending on motorsports gear to be frank. So looking forward, I see 2008 as a very business-oriented year, so business related stuff seems much more practical1 and useful. Wishlists aside, I’d really love to wish you a Merry Xmas and a wonderful, sexy new year ahead!
Cheerios!

This is a bloody interesting technical analysis about the existence of Santa:
There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) 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 (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that 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 he travels 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 around1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, 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.
