MAGIC!!! Thus their calculations are rendered meaningless as they didn't take into account the fact that Santa and his reindeers are by no means "conventional". Have a good one Daisy! Eat lots - you know I will!!! See you next year! Merry Christmas everyone! xx That joke is all very good and well, but the physicists forgot one vital element in their equations! MAGIC!!!

But still, he made me laugh a lot. I didn't hate math so much when it was in his class. :-) Ha ha. Yes, Mr. Kutcher gave me lots of joy as a student – lots of algebra homework, too.
