In a bow to our wonderful pchall, I update this thread with the latest Norad Tracks Santa. If you have nothing to do today, have a look. If you're busy (like me) beware. It sucks you in with all the information (pictures of Alice Springs, Australia?!) Some of the commentaries, especially the Mt. Everest one, are just darling.

I love those things. Fun to read. Who says scientists aren't creative? :)
