Breaking News: Rudolph's nose is actually blue?

"IT IS a mystery that has captured children's imaginations for generations – how does Santa Claus get round the world to deliver gifts to all the good girls and boys in just one night? A fast sleigh is a must, as is a well-trained team of reindeer. But according to Scotland's top astronomer, Santa might also benefit from a passing knowledge of the theories of astrophysics. Quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity both distort space time and could speed him on his way, said Professor John Brown, tenth Astronomer Royal for Scotland. Worm holes could also provide a useful short-cut as he goes on his rounds. In an effort to make sense of a science which many consider to be beyond their grasp, Prof Brown, regius professor of astronomy at Glasgow University, has applied the theories of astronomy to some of the more popular Christmas traditions. Rudolph the reindeer's nose, for example, would appear blue, not red, according to the basic rules of astronomy." http://news.scotsman.com/scotland/How-Santa-gets-round-the.5936751.jp What's your view on a blue-nosed Rudolph?

r his balls located on his nose thats the only explanation "BLUE BALLS"
DO NOT MEDDLE with tradition. IT is RED. I dont care what the real color is. anatomically and species probability will point to the answer-NO WAY WILL IT BE BLUE. In all probability- it will be blackish grey Did I mention I dont care what THE REAL COLOR IS? as far as I am concerned- IT IS RED
thats good to hear
Does "blue-nosed" mean that Rudolph is a Rangers Fan? No wonder half of Glasgow will not be receiving any presents this year. Further, I believe that any discussion regarding the colour of his/her/it's nose is highly racist, and I am surprised and, frankly, shocked at you raising this issue, especially considering that it is the time of goodwill to all reindeer.
Im just glad its not brown.
Its blue because its freezing cold ..
That's the trouble with scientist always looking at the facts - trying to explain everything away in facts - goddamn them. Lighten up and let the imagination take the reins - Rudolph has got a red nose cos I just told my daughter he has and that is that! We havent got onto Rudolphs underparts yet - thankfully she is too young, but I guess they might be blue.
Its all a liberal conspiracy, set up by the democrats to further Barack Obamas agenda. It ties in with the 911 attacks somehow also.
I'm not surprised. -If it's cold enough it certainly would be ! Ho-ho-ho..-Merry Christmas! :)
Unless Rudolph has become really sophisticated with a brand new LED nose then I don't buy it...I doubt there is any evidence for this....Rudolph's nose is as red as a Holly berry and will be a red berry forever...sorry to disappoint the futuristic folk who have gotten a space eye view that has distorted their perception.
Urrr..... Neil, I know you're bored mate but please give some consideration to those of us who have been drinking all night and develop migraines and a cross-eyed glare at such complexity. Has anyone got a paracetamol? ;p
Sure? Look in the real world. Decode this lyrics " You'll see " "Wonderful world" Not red? Listen how it keep on 'Achoo ! Achoo ! " Sneezing with cold? Why not pass the tissue? Even miss the sleigh ride? While all the other Reindeers were laughing? Luke 21.30-36 Luke 9.25,55-56,60 1 Timothy 6.7 Luke 24.44-45,47-48 What do you think?
So Rudolph is either a Rangers fan or an Everton fan?
