Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson tongue-in-cheekily tells Morning Edition’s David Greene that the whole bit about flying around the world in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and landing on rooftops is just a ruse. He says that what St. Nick is really doing, if you think about the “science of Santa,” is whipping around the world and into the homes of good girls and boys via some wondrous wormholes.

npr:
Here are just a few of the positions Santa would need to fill to pull off Christmas.
* 46 international distribution centers, to allow Santa to reload as he crosses the globe. That means 400,000 workers for loading presents onto Santa’s sleigh.
* 60,000 workers to develop optimized flight plans and communicate with the FAA, secure flyover rights, etc.
* 7,000 people monitoring demand and tweaking his route in real time.
* 100 meteorologists to make sure Santa doesn’t fly into a blizzard.
* 40,000 people to help Santa clear customs.

With all of these pictures of the Olympics floating around, it begs the question, what kind of shape are former Olympic cities in?

You might say that global food cultures tend to fall into one of two categories: utensil cultures and finger cultures. The U.S., somewhat unusually, has both: the appropriate delivery method can vary between cuisines, and even between dishes, and it’s far from obvious which is which. Baked chicken is a fork food, but fried chicken a finger food, depending on how it’s fried. If you get fried pieces of potato, it’s a finger food, unless the potato retains some circular shape, in which case use your fork. And so on. Confused yet?
