NORAD Tracking Santa and Nuking Penguins

12/24/2008 10:18 AM

Every year NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) tracks Santa Claus, just to be sure he doesn't do anything suspicious, you know, other than flying faster than the speed of light delivering gifts by breaking and entering houses. There is a website where Santa's progress can be tracked

http://www.noradsanta.org/

Also, in case Christmas isn't your thing, here is a website that allows you to see the blast zone for assorted nuclear bombs for whatever location you choose. Hate penguins? See how many bombs it would take to destroy Antarctica. Or use the asteroid option for a pyrrhic victory.

Are you really gonna let these guys organize? Or are you going to act?

Okay, now it is totally confirmed ... I am defintely sick in the noggin.

The nuke-thing is really bad ... but ... oddly ... kinda fun

I must re-evaluate my inner-self ...

Thanks, RP ... I think

[hmmm, if these two sites can get together, they could track how Santa is delivering the gifts AND avoiding the nukes ... OMG, I AM sick]

It's easy to laugh now, they've only conquered Patagonia, but when they conquer Mexico you'll start to get nervous.
