    Never understood why an overweight Arctic toymaker delivers Christmas gifts rather than representations of the Three Wise Men

        @neiltyson Dr, theoretically how fast would Santas sleigh have to travel to cover every inch of land and sea to deliver the presents?

        @neiltyson Why would Santa deliver representations of the Three Wise Men? Nobody wants those.

        @neiltyson Considering St Nick was Turkish, I have no idea why he's supposed to be white.

        @EnduranceAgency @neiltyson North Western Turks, do kinda. But central/eastern ones do not. St Nick was Southern. So may have been dark.

        @SecularLad St Nicola was from SW of Turkey, closer to Greece. Plus being Christian means very high chance he was Caucasian.

        @EnduranceAgency agree that Greeks are darker than the Coca-Cola Santa? That's all I really meant.

        .@neiltyson It took the wise men 3 years to deliver their gifts to one kid, Santa does it in one night all over the world.
