To Santa

Given that this is the stupidest fight ever, yes, yes he probably is.

As if explaining mall santas to the kids wasn't hard enough, now I have to come up with some bullshiat about why Santa's being shown in two different places?

fark it. 2012, it's time to tell the kids that Santa ain't real. I give up.

I am actually having fun with the Google Santa Tracker. For a brief, fleeting moment, it makes me feel like a kid again. "HEE! HE'S ALMOST HERE! ...wait a minute"

/wrapping up toys at this moment with Santa decorated gift wrap

The fact that there are competing Santa trackers just shows you how much a of a joyless bunch of ass-farking capitalists these farking halfwits are.

Multiple warheads for multiple targets......

/something just flashed down my chim

Actually read the article. It is brilliant at giving reasons for the disparity, the later paragraphs of page 1 are gold.

I don't see an article on my screen, just lots and lots of promos for other articles.

How long's it take to load up?

/on cable, could be faster
//maybe santa's P.R. censored it.

What's so hard about telling them, "It's Elf Magic and since I never studied it, I don't have the foggiest."

Just use a smidge of your imagination, it's not that hard. And in a few years you won't have to worry about making up stuff at all because they'll be teenagers and won't listen to you, in the first place.

The man is an actual Saint. Special dispensation from the Creator him/herself comes with the office. Both trackers are most likely accurate. That's all we need to know.

Since he's probably traveling faster than light, I'd say there are multiple quantum states of Santa.

"Better get to bed, Timmy. If you observe Santa, your bicycle will change into a dollhouse!"

Santa now,
he like the wind.
You never know where Santa at.
He like the cong.

Yeah Santa Cong.

Fabric_Man: Since he's probably traveling faster than light, I'd say there are multiple quantum states of Santa.

"Better get to bed, Timmy. If you observe Santa, your bicycle will change into a dollhouse!"

Oh, I'm using this. Thanks!

Chaff and flares.

If it turns out there's more than one Santa, does this mean I'm polytheistic?

Santa?

I would listen to you either if you spent my childhood lying to me.

No, Santa's a Time Lord.  How else can he travel the entire world in a day delivering presents?  His sled is his TARDIS that holds all the billions of presents, so he never has to refill at the North Pole.  He often is known for different "companions" like Befana or Krampus.  And just like the Doctor's regenerations, he appears to different people at different times with different faces, hence all the differing outfits and appearances in different cultures.  NORAD works with Torchwood, so they have the better tracker.

Apple maps has him somewhere near Neptune.

You would? Thank you.

Seriously, you obviously don't have children if you think telling them that Santa Claus is real is going to scar them for life. When a child comes up to you to play pretend and says, "I'm a knight!" Do you go, "No, you're not. There hasn't been Crusade like knights for centuries. Stop lying" or do you play along and continue the lie?

Meanwhile, Apple Maps has him passing Jupiter.

No, dumbmitter: It means SANTA IS A NINJA.

God, people are so stupid sometimes.

Santa is working with quantum physics and Heisenberg uncertainty principles.

/and yes, I expect a Walter White pic as a reply

It is odd that Microsoft would have a different result than Google. Doesn't Bing just copy Google's results and present them as their own?

/remember the honeypot trap Google left for Bing...

Twitch Boy: Meanwhile, Apple Maps has him passing Jupiter.

Out to Nibiru...

Norad's Santa is much nicer.

So, is this the "My parents told me Santa was real and now I'm a 25-35 year-old emotional cripple because of it and my parents are monsters" thread?

'Cause those are awesome.

Next thing you know they'll be launching patent infringement claims at each other over their Santa Tracking technology.

Now Apple Maps is showing him at Uranus.

If he is using drone decoys, this can only mean one thing:

I was gonna say this

soaboutthat: Norad's Santa is much nicer.

but this is funnier

Duck_of_Doom: NORAD works with Torchwood, so they have the better tracker.

One is a decoy to draw enemy fire. The other delivers the goods.

To wonder

I would trust google's location as Santa forgot to decline on his Android phone...

Clone symbiotes.  I tell you, this whole Santa thing is a scam.  Wake up sheeple!

It's so cute and darling how much trouble we go through to violate children's trust.

OtherLittleGuy: Santa is working with quantum physics and Heisenberg uncertainty principles.

It's sort of embarrassing we can't get a steady target lock on the farker. He shows up red on AMDWS.

Apple Maps last had him shot down over the Sea of Japan. He spun in. There were no survivors.

Just further proof that Bing ain't worth shiat.

/the fark is Kwanzaa?

The reason for the discrepancy is GOOGLE can't track an EPIRB. He hit some turbulence and had to bail.

NewportBarGuy: Apple Maps last had him shot down over the Sea of Japan. He spun in. There were no survivors.

I just dropped my dessert fork.

I remember watching the relevant episode of TNG. Santa must have been duplicated via transporter mishap and one of the Santa's goes his middle name instead.

^ goes by

Or, they're using the same GPS unit as the one in my brand-new Vaio that shows me as being in Chiba when I'm actually in Nagano.

Santa wants to get in close underneath the air defenses to make sure all the presents reach their targets.

Two words: selective availability
