So, it's 2004...

We finns used our 1st day of 2004 totally off line. At noon our president kept her New Year speech in TV. Then we watch the political satire we see every New Year. Very funny. After that it was the New Year's Concert from Vienna. And, after that the ski-jumping from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

All those are traditions here. Ain't it sweet to be middle aged, lol?

We drank too much booze, watched movies, drank too much booze again and just talked and had a good time after we were too tired to watch any more movies...

Well, it is sweet to be middle aged...

Just right now it's morning. I just drank a big cup of coffee. With a sip of vodka, of course. I'm still in vacation. Do I still have a flu? I don't think so, but I'm not so sure because I have just woke up. Time will tell.

Yesterday I was in good health, cooked and all...

This year seems like every other week - LOL - except since I didn't get plastered on New Years, I actually got all my packing & laptop prep done for Vegas 2 days before I leave

Usually, I'm running around the day we leave trying to remember what files I need on the laptop - LOL

Today is pretty much like any other day for me.

Get up, drink coffee, feed the creatures that live with me, wash dirty dishes, wash my body, get dressed, do makeup and hair, and do what whatever is in my PIM.

Where the fuck is the flying cars? All I got was a lousy Chevy to drive in congested streets, not fair, it's the 21st century, I WANT MY FUCKING FLYING CAR!

Can you actually imagine what it would be like if we all did fly around in cars? In today's news another neighborhood was vaporized when a drunk driving flew his car into…

Funny, we just talked about flying cars last night. They promised us that we have flying cars after 2000.

I tried to find one old book I remember I bought at the 70's that told us what earth is going to be at 2000, but I can't find it. It probably has vanished somewhere, or someone has "loaned" it long time ago.

At 80's I used to throw parties. I had all kinds of good and expensive alcohol in my home, lots of it, hundreds of bottles, and people always "loaned" them. When I asked them back, they claim they haven't taken them. So I stopped throwing parties.

When flying cars come they must be like in sci-fi stories. You just told the car where you wanna go and it flies there. No matter if you're drunk or sober. The car will drive, and it won't crash anywhere.

Even if you didn't need to drive then and they drove themselves they would still crash when the drunk passengers spilled their rum and coke into the car's electronics or set themselves on fire while lighting a joint or smoking crack or whatever nasty thing they find to kill brain cells by then.

Speaking of flying humanoids and other creatures…

A friend gave me this last night.

Santa Claus - The Scientific Explanation

1. No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.

2. There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't appear to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average census rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. For the sake of our ensuing calculations, we will assume that there is at least one good child in each.

3. Santa has 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 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1.2 milliseconds to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about 78 miles per household, a total trip of 71.6 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours.

This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at appx 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a mere 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run 15 miles per hour, unless being chased by a pack of wolves.

4. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison-this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the boat, not the person).

5. 353,000 tons travelling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - thus heating the chain in almost the same fashion as spacecraft re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of this friction, the lead pair of reindeer will absorb around 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporised within 4.26 milliseconds. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

In conclusion - If Santa ever did deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.
