Dec 19 2008Ho Ho Ho, Happy Holidays From Geekologie

Julian Beever is a sidewalk artist that specializes in realistic 3-D renderings when viewed from a particular viewpoint. This is one such piece, and Christmas themed to boot. Who knew Santa lived in a secret underground lair beneath a mail receptacle? That's some serious DangerMouse shit right there. And, based on the expression on Santa's face, I'd say somebody just asked for ass beads.

Is he mailing his baby?
3. Moose Knuckle - December 19, 2008 2:18 PM
And why does Santa have "blow-up doll face"?
4. C-Basstian - December 19, 2008 2:19 PM
this guy is almost as good as me...no seriously...

I've seen these before. Yeah they are pretty cool. But you know what you never see. Nobody ever takes a picture of these from the wrong angle. If you look at it from the wrong angle, its totally bizzare.
I challenge someone to post a picture of one from the wrong angle.
You have been challenged.
Heck, MooseKnucle has been challenged his whole life.
6. Sharla - December 19, 2008 2:26 PM
I really love these! Would love to see one in person. If I do, I will definitely get a bad angle shot and post it!

Someone should get video surveillance on that area. See how many stoned people attempt jumping over the art.

@10. You kind of met the challenge. You didn't post it, you found it posted. That's cool. At least now I took the time to look at all his work. Cool stuff.

16. Spider - December 19, 2008 3:49 PM
wow
17. Spider - December 19, 2008 3:50 PM
its been about two hours since this was posted and daisy hasn't said shit... has she finally been laid?
18. Daisy - December 19, 2008 3:54 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tellits a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene from the movie Never Back Down where Baja's red nose makes her the laughingstock of the school. Then one day the fog was so thick the bus couldn't get the kids home, so Baja walked in front of it with her nose for a light. The kids were home safe for christmas holiday and Baja and her red nose were very popular from then on.

Nice :)
24. krespie - December 19, 2008 4:59 PM
Looks like he's going to drop the baby into Santa's lair as a sacrifice.
At least the baby thinks so...
25. Bernard Fleming - December 19, 2008 5:03 PM
@21 - judging by the mailbox thats england, so I guess so.
26. known - December 19, 2008 5:54 PM
I bet that thing goes so fast!!
27. Griswold Goodsoup - December 19, 2008 6:32 PM
DangerDOOM is the bee's knees, he is the wasp's nipples. He is, I would go so far as to say, the entire set of erogenous zones of every major flying insect of the Western world.

@28 good job! That was my favorite obscure picture too!
BTW, whats up GW?!?! Four posts today? I had to work a full schedule, it's not Christmas Eve or anything. I needed my fix and got left hanging today.
30. CA - December 19, 2008 10:00 PM
This kind of creeps me out. Now all I can think of is fat men in red suits lurking under every street corner.
31. Adam - December 19, 2008 10:04 PM
Why doesn't anyone tell Daisy the scenes she describes in Never Back Down are fake?
32. killerabbit - December 19, 2008 10:25 PM
Wow, that kid looks terrified.

- There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total -- 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau.
- At an average (census)rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.
- Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west(which seems logical).
- This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house.
- Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc.
- This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second -- a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.
- The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight.
- On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" could pull TEN TIMES the normal anoint, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer.
- This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh -- to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison -- this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.
- 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance -- this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecrafts re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second.
- Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim)would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.
Merry Christmas, GEEKS!

REAL!!!!
Saint Nicholas is real. The shadows are all right.
It is commonly misunderstood that he would waste his time visiting the unseemly parts of the world, hundreds of years after his death.
To learn the truth, one can view a scene in the film Tender Dracula.
Therein Dracula will illustrate the merits of a peaceful and loving life, devoid
of imagined horrors, as the real horrors of life are far too plentiful.
Merry Christmas, and Never Back Down!

did anyone even read what 33 said? if you did could you post it but summarized down to like a sentence so no one has to waste all that time reading what 33 wrote
36. cheezy potatoes - December 20, 2008 2:05 AM
@35
oh im sure you can take a few minutes to read it you lazy person!
37. meatier than yur mother - December 20, 2008 3:00 AM
@33 & 34 you gay fags shut the f*** up!
38. Bernie Kosar - December 20, 2008 6:20 AM
@33 - but you forget, its magic. So Santa isn't bound by the constraints you mention.
39. wolverine - December 20, 2008 10:27 AM
@33, you ruined Christmas!!
40. Tenchi059 - December 20, 2008 12:30 PM
@33: Are you saying... Santa doesn't exist? You're not saying that, right?
41. known - December 20, 2008 1:46 PM
35: too funny and so true
42. Angel Mass - December 20, 2008 2:21 PM
35: Obviously, we think in Santa in Human terms but reading those facts, "he" seem to come from a parallel dimension with different space and time rules, that would be my theory but cannot conclude anything till this is properly tested in scientifically ways such as, show up in the TV show "Mythbusters"

That guy looks like he just stole the kid! Santa's reading the ransome note!
45. candles have shadows because - December 21, 2008 4:47 AM
Candles have shadows because you can't f*** your wife, who uses a candle instead of a vibrator.
This is no place to shut up. If this was a place to shut up or if you want this place to shut up. Shut the comments box f*** up.
Santa is fake, St. Stan is Loss. Gravity sucks, so do black holes.
Nothing sucks like an Electrolux.

Why does the candle have a spare tire?
The shadow is the shadow of the handle. But it really doesn't need a spare tire.

@ 27. Griswold Goodsoup:
Nice Hitchhiker's Guide reference there. Bet you thought none of us would spot that you were pirating Douglas Adams's material? Well, I see what you did there!
57. Thumperchica - December 22, 2008 11:03 AM
@33 - You were the kid to tell your friends in 2nd grade that Santa and the Easter Bunny aren't real, huh?
It's the spirit of the season and a belief in the possibility of magic that matters more. JackAss.
58. Douche McAllister - December 22, 2008 2:41 PM
Duckula was way better than DangerMouse. BLAHHAHAHAHAHA!
59. i hate santa - December 23, 2008 4:50 PM
