Because he travels faster than the speed of light!
For him to visit every person in the world, he would spend less than 0.0000144 of a second on each one. I'm not sure how many families there are in the world, but combining times for people in families really don't make much difference.

He doesn't visit every family though. Just those boys and girls who've been good this year. Duh.

That's for ressurecting aincient threads.
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Dang, Jeff, are you going through EVERY old thread in the whole archive?!
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
Or maybe he's completly seperate from normal time! Like, 1 second to us would be like 12 hours to Santa!
BTW, Omega, get on IM. I wanna argue with you some more!
Posted by Jeff The Card (Member # 411) on :
Obviously not, Omega. Would you like me to?
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :

Who's IM?
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
MIB has a single-thread mind. If something someone says is not in direct response to the last thing that HE said, he can't handle it. But for the sake of clarity, Jeff was saying that he was not going through all old threads, and asking if I'd like him to.
MIB, have you gotten your official warning about being an idiot yet? Cause you REALLY need one.
