Could you FIND the bubble?

Dacs that was very subtle!

It appears that it was asked for.

Well, look. If we're really going to let science be our guide in this matter, the first thing we must admit is that reindeer don't fly, let alone haul a jolly fat elf around in an airborne sleigh. And if we start down that slippery slope, there's only one conclusion we can possibly reach: Santa Claus doesn't exist. That way lies madness.

But there is a loophole.

It is a fact, reindeer experts say, that both the male and female of the species have antlers. It is also a fact that while most cows retain their antlers until spring, most bulls drop their antlers by early December. The key word is most.

The experts go on to explain that some younger bulls, depending upon hereditary and environmental factors, may keep their antlers well into spring even as late as April.

So it is plausible to suppose that if, for the sake of argument, there were a Santa Claus, and if, for the sake of argument, he did happen to drive a sleigh through the stratosphere every December 25th pulled by eight "tiny" reindeer, then at least some of those reindeer including one in particular with a shiny, red nose could be males.

Chalk one up for tradition.

Thanks Dac...*pop* <<there's the bubble

These are magical reindeer anyway. They are 8 TINY reindeer. They live at the North Pole in a magical land so therefore are not subject to the normal reindeer rules. And I am also going to assume that Santa is an equal opportunity employer. The reindeer must all be mixed and since he never gets lost Rudolph is really Rudolpha and therefore female.

Oh, yeah!!! You go, girl!

Or....we can say that animal rights groups have already deemed using reindeer to pull a heavy sleigh full of an obese little person and some outsourced toys as cruelty to animals.

All aforementioned stories, films and pics had to be remade CG to avoid the exploitation and cruelty of animals and the group of under paid little people who make the toys. Therefore~ CG are not real and the issue of sex of the deer is moot!

I would still bet that the first story is more creditable! Snicker!
