We Used Math To Prove Being Santa Would Be Endless Torture
The Santa Clause is the heartwarming family tale of Tim Allen murdering Santa Claus which seems like a pretty good deal until you do some math and realize that single night of delivering presents lasts thousands of years thanks to Santa's magical time-stopping powers. Which makes us wonder, did Tim Allen actually kill Santa, or did Santa fake his death to escape from the endless torture of being Big Man Christmas? We investigate with Movie Math!
Partially inspired by the articles 5 Killer Ways Fans Fixed Movie Plot Holes and 5 Christmas Movies You Never Realized Had Insane Messages.
