According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of each winter. Female reindeer tend to retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to every historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, every single one of them (from Rudolph to Blizten) must have been a female. We should have known. Only women would be able to drag a fat man dressed in a red velvet suit around and not get lost.

"This is WAY funnnier than that scientifically proven funny joke:"
George W. Bush is meeting with the Queen of England, and he realizes she is almost as stupid as he is. He asks her, "Mrs. Queen of England, how do you appear to be so smart?"
She responds, "Well, I surround myself with smart people!"
He says, "Well, how do you know they're so smart?"
She says, "I give them a little intelligence test." Then she picks up the phone and dials up Tony Blair. She asks him, "Mr. Blair, who is the child of your parents who is not your brother or sister?"
Tony Blair answers, "Why, it's me, of course."
Queen Elizabeth turns to George W. Bush and says, "See? That's how you tell."
Dubya returns to Washington, eager to promote his new intelligence test. While walking through the West Wing, he runs into Dan Quayle. (Don't ask what Quayle is doing there.) The President asks Quayle, "Mr. Quayle! I have a question for you!"
Dan Quayle responds, "Uh, sure, Mr. President."
"Mr. Quayle, who is the child of your parents who is not your brother or sister?"
Quayle looks rather nervous and twitches his eyes like a frightened bunny. He says, "Hold on, Mr. Bush, I'll get back to you in a few minutes."
Quayle runs to Dick Cheney's office and says, "Mr. Cheney, I've got to ask you something! I need the answer to this question. Who is the child of your parents who is not your brother or sister?"
Cheney laughs so hard, his artificial ticker almost malfunctions. He responds, "You idiot, it's me!"
Quayle, eager to present his knowledge to George Dubya, runs back to the President and says "I know the answer! I know the answer! It's Dick Cheney!"
Dubya laughs and tries to look smart. "Wrong, you dumb cracker, it's TONY BLAIR!"
RT recommends that you don't mess with science.
