Santa Meets NORAD, Tux Gets Lit Up For Xmas
runlvl0 writes "Once again, NORAD is tracking Santa Claus on his annual trip around the world via the NORAD Tracks Santa website. Oddly, as of 1900 GMT, Santa is taking a spin over the Persian Gulf. I guess that he's glad not to have to worry about "no-fly zones" this year." NORAD has been keeping an eye on our favorite present deliverer for a few years now. Elsewhere, pixelbeat writes "Michael Still created a lovely Tux in Xmas tree lights. The complete process from gimp to the final 707 lights was documented."
Who ever said God was an invisible man? Maybe your the one that is irrational..Hmmmm?
I like to think that God is an omnipresent force that guides us though our tribulations in life. Notice however, I said *think*. It's a concept called faith.
So I have a question for you Mr AC. Do you not have any faith? Do you believe that when you die, that's it...game over? Maybe that asumption is correct. And just to play devils advocate, lets say that this is *it*. Perhaps now you should relize how lucky you are to be alive and even dwell on this topic. But then again....you would rather have negitive attitude and cut people down for having such faith. It's sad really, I pitty you.
Merry Christmas!!
Life is not for the lazy.
"funny how NORAD couldn't see any of da "highjacked" planes on 9/11. were they asleep or in coma? "
RTFA.
I'm tired of this stupid-ass 20/20 hindsight that says 9/11 could have been prevented. Would YOU have been prepared to fire a missile at a commercial airliner with 300+ innocent people aboard, not knowing what their plans are?
The answer is no. Don't bother lying to me just to try to 'win'.
"Derp de derp."
may as well be me:
As for the Tux lights...
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!

Last I heard, the passengers hijacked the plane back, and couldn't fly it, but they decided that it would be OK as long as the plane didn't hit it's target. Unless, of course, that's the FUD spoonfed to us by the government...
Even if it wasn't the passengers doing, it happened AFTER the Pentagon and WTC were hit. The Gov't knew what was up by that time, and they could have had fighters shoot it down in minutes.
