From my Inbox, today's Word of the Day:

Although most data collected by NORAD is top secret, each December 24th, volunteers at NORAD share the data they collect about one specific object in space -- a red sleigh led by eight reindeer (nine if it's foggy).

NORAD has been using high-end technology to track Santa since 1955.
According to a special NORAD web site, this year NORAD will use four high-tech systems to track Santa -- radar, satellites, Santa Cams and fighter jets.

Yes, Virginia, Santa does exist. Just ask NORAD.
B-)

edit: remove and apologize for bad link, add the following:
Beginning at 4 a.m. Mountain time on December 24th, children across the U.S. and Canada can call 1-877-HI-NORAD to find out Santa's exact location on Christmas Eve.

Or children can visit the special NORAD website with their parents and use a special version of Google Earth to track Santa.

NORAD also lets parents track Santa on their mobile phones.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command Santa Tracking site is up at http://www.noradsanta.org/.

I spoke to some friends at Dobbins Air Force Base, which is where Lockheed Martin builds the F-22 Raptor and according to them, they are going to have a pair of these birds sitting on one of the runways ready to actually deploy when Santa is detected coming into Georgia airspace. I am led to understand even the most hardened grade school sceptic is going to be impressed. :)

the shotgun out.

That fat old coot running around with the 8 overgrown horned dogs pulling around a big fuzzy carriage on runners hasn't brought me what i've wanted for christmas for 10 years, so he can buggar off.

And he wakes me up every year going by yelling and making noise with those damned bells.

Bah humbug. ]:)

I have been so nice this year, and Santa still won't give me what I want.

I think tho I'd be better off getting Jim Lange or Chuck Woolery to help. :^0

I shot him down with the Anti Aircraft gun already.

NORAD is telling every one lies. :D

Had Country Filters? That is something new.

Seems that Some people are not allowed to watch these small Fission Reactions. That was a really small one as the shock wave was so slight. :D

Cheers
