Two thoughts about the reindeer who went down in hist-o-REEEEEE...
1. If Rudolph's nose is THAT bright, and also such high-energy because of its intense red hue, assuming it's radiating out the lumens of at least the running lights of a commercial airliner and that it's shining right at his face...
...Rudolph should be totally blind by now!! Even one trip around the world would have been more than enough to burn out his retinas.
I hope Santa sleeps easy with this on his conscience.
2. Johnny Marks wrote "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in 1949 as part of a publicity campaign for the Montgomery Ward's department store chain.
Just think: if the company had insisted upon royalties every time that song was played or performed or sung in public by school choirs and Brownie troops, Montgomery Ward's would still be in business!

Ever stop to think that maybe Rudolph wore sunglasses during these flights?
NOW you've done it Marc. You just obligated *generations* of Christmas decoration manufacturers to have Rudolph donning shades :-P
