He grips his throat, claws at the air, and then doesn't move for some time.

I'd guess because the skull and brain itself insulate any electircal charge from coming out, as all electrical charges would exist solely within nerves, and also in relatively small doses?

Coca-Cola claim that it was they who invented Santa wearing those colours, but I have heard that Santa in red and white was the idea of another company... anyway, it's a festive colour, so who cares?

That said, I do remember seeing some Christmas tree decorations that had been made to look like they were made 100 years back or something, and they did include ol' Santa dressed entirely in white!

I think coca-cola raised a baby on coca-cola for it's entire life, the result was Santa.

Think, all that caffine helps him get to every single house in the world in less than 0.0001 seconds!

Either that or he's an alien (or not real)

It depends how you read that question.

If you were trying to fail, and succeed, then you have failed to accomplish your goal.

If you were trying to fail, and succeed in failing, then you have succeeded in accomplishing your goal, which was to fail. So effectively you've done both. You have succeeded in failing, and whatever you were trying to fail at, you have failed at.

Depends on the conditions.

> If you run backwards will you gain weight?

No, because it isn't the direction that makes you lose weight, it's the running!

They turn purple.

You wouldn't until you looked the same word up in another dictionary.

:D



Why doesn't glue stick to the tube?

Why doesn't the electrical activity in our brain make our hair stand on end?

Why don't our bodies decompose until after we die?

What holds the sky up?

How does a computer know what it's doing? It's just a load of metal and plastic!

If you try to fail and succeed, what have
you done?

How is it one careless match can start a
forest fire, but it takes a whole box to
start a campfire?

If you run backwards will you gain weight?

How do you know when a Smurf
suffocates?

If a word in a dictionary is misspelled, how
would you know?

I have it on good authority (a big-nosed elf told me) that Santa underwent laser-eye treatment earlier this year after watching that ad featuring Jonathan Edwards.
