Canada Talk » Schoenen Nikolaustag!

So, nachdem es das ja in Canada nicht gibt (diese Banausen) mal auf diesem Weg einen schoenen Nikolaustag an alle von hier aus Ontario!

War etwas frustrierend, habe (so wie sich das gehoert) gestern Abend meine Schuhe vor die Tuer gestellt, heute morgen war einer weg (tippe auf racoon) und in den anderen hat es reingeschneit......

Schoenen Tag noch!

Jan

Danke Jan, trotz alldem auch dir einen schönen Nikelaustag, wie wir hier am Rande des Ruhrgebiets zu sagen pflegen!

P.S. Wird wohl Zeit gute, alte, deutsche Tugenden in Orillia einzuführen ?

Hi !!

Mal ne blöde Frage :

Wieso kommt der Nikolaus nicht in Kanada ???

Da da doch nun auch viele Leute christlich ( spezielle katholisch ) sind, dachte ich, das das nichts mit dem Land zu tun hat, sondern mit der Religion ????


Klär mich mal bitte jemand auf !!!!!

Hi Mark !

Danke für die schöne Seite, unsere Kids sind davon schon fleißig am Ausmalen und Punkteverbinden !!

Also kommt in Kanada " nur " Santa Claus und nicht wie in DE Nikolaus + Christkind.

@ 0815:

Weissbiertest muss noch etwas warten, meine Frau fand das Weissbier und die passenden Glaeser so originell, dass sie es mir weggenommen hat und nun zu Weihnachten schenkt......... unglaublich!

@ bettybou:

Der Nikolaus (Santa) kommt schon, aber nicht zum 6. Dezember.
Ich arbeite hier in Bracebridge, ON, und : The Town Bracebridge is positioned on the 45 th parallel, halfway between the Equator and the North Pole, and is recognized as Santa’s summer home......

War neulich drueben in Santa's Village und er war nicht da......... glaube er verbringt seine Zeit momentan in shopping malls und laesst sich mit Kindern fotografieren.

mfg,

Tut mir leid euch Dieses nur in english vorzusetzen,
aber wenn man schon in Kanada Breitwand träumt, sollte man auch jede Gelegenheit nutzen fleißig "Canadisch" zu üben. Ehh...

Ist der "Santa" eine Realitaet? Hier sind die Fakten....


"""The results of the committee on the scientific analysis of Santa Claus
released their findings today. At a news conference they presented
these points.

1. No known species of reindeer can fly. However, 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 seen.

2. There are an estimated 2 billion children (persons under 18 ) in
the world. But since Santa doesn't - apparently - handle the Muslim,
Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15%
of the total - a mere 378 million, according to the Population Census
Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household,
that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there is at least one good
child to each home.

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 1/1000th of a second 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 into the sleigh, and move on to the next
house.

Assuming that these 91,800,000 stops are evenly distributed around the
earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but which for purposes
of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .76
miles per household, a total trip of 75,500,000 miles, not counting
stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours. This
means that Santa's sled is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times
faster than the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the
fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky
27.4 miles per second. A conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles
per hour.

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
the ability of 'flying reindeer' (see point 1) to pull perhaps ten
times the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight or even nine.
We need more. Actually, we need 214,191 more, or a total of 214,200
reindeer. This increases the payload - not counting the weight of the
sleigh - to 353,420 tons. Again, for comparison, this is four times
the weight of the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth.

5. This 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates
enormous air resistance, which will heat the reindeer up in the same
fashion as spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead
pair of reindeer will absorb 14,300,000,000,000,000,000 (14.3
quintillion) joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will
almost instantaneously burst into flames, exposing the reindeer behind
them, who will repeat the process, and they will also create deafening
sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized
within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be
subjected to acceleration forces 17,500.06 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."""
