Quote:

Rudolph's special trip Scientists have discovered that reindeer in the wild often munch on magic mushrooms in what's thought to be a deliberate act to beat the monotony of dreary long winters. Writing in the Pharmaceutical Journal, scientist Andrew Haynes said: "They have a desire to experience altered states of consciousness. For humans, a common side-effect of mushrooms is the feeling of flying, so it's interesting the legend about Santa's reindeer is they can fly." He also said herdsmen drink the reindeer's urine to get high themselves.

I wonder if that is why Rudolph has a red nose?

Drink Reindeer urine?  Merry Freakin' Christmas . . . . .

I'm sticking with spiked egg nog...thank you! ;D

Reindeer's Story at Christmas

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.

Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.

We should have known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

;)

Egad.

It sounds like the old story about how locals laughed like hyenas when they convinced explorers to eat oysters.
