Good thing for engineers, they're paid to think. But they seem to have forgotten to figure themselves out of the total population. (at least the pre-eighteen geeks)

I don't think the UofT people are being paid to think. I think its more likely that the students have to pay through the nose to think.

Well, whatever christmas spirit I had is gone.

Speaking for the Neo-Conseravitve Right,

I sure hope nobody reads that to their kids? Whateve happened to the innoncence of Christmas? Everyone knows he doesn't exist, put to sit down and spend time and money proving it? They might as well go ahead and disprove the Easter Bunny, Cupid and Leperchauns while they are at it. My father in law was a machinist for 40+ years and never met an engineer he liked......... too much brain and not enough sense he'd say.

Elf,

You’re forgetting one thing: magic!!! How do you know Santa doesn’t have the ability to suspend time?

Engineers have no imagination. (I should know - I are one.) That's why engineers should stick to the natural. Leave the supernatural to the philosophers and the kids.

heh well I added the warning in red, and said the analysis did not confirm or deny the existence of santa, but simply the type of forces that are/would be applied on his yearly trip.
