I am so full of Xmas cheer??


There are approximately two billion children in the world. Taking out non-christians etc this reduces the workload to 15% of the total, or 378 million At an average rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is 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. This works out to just over 950 visits per second. Plus he has to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stocking, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and onto the next house.

Wow - I always knew he was a fast worker!! Probably down on Xmas cheer at the moment with Robbie Deans going. I realise that we have to face up to the professional era but I think the NZRFU have gone backwards as we need new thinking. If we can't win in 2011 at home then.......
