The Santa Claus Thesis

The Santa Claus Thesis was an experimental, scientifical theorem composed by John Thomas and Brandon Stevenson in December of 2006. It explains the plausible thinking behind Santa Claus' existence and how his annual trip around the world is possible. The pair spent 26 9th periods in their Lower Macungie Middle School library researching and writing the thesis.

The Beginning

One day John was screwing around in the library when he came across a site briefly explaining the logic behind Santa Claus' existence. Thinking it would be cool to make his own, he began going down to the library a lot more doing research. He didn't really take it seriously until Brandon Stevenson discovered what he was doing and offered to help. John immidiately accepted the offer, and the two began writing the thesis.

Development

The original name was the Santa Claus Theorem, but the two changed the name to the Santa Claus Thesis because they found a copyright-protected site online already called the Santa Claus Theorem.

Critisizms

Although the Thesis recieved much praise from peers, the students' teachers didn't think the thesis was a good use of their time. Mr. Rob Sawicki, their social studies teacher, was quoted saying, "This 'project' has no point. I have no life. I mean... we begin to see that... um, crap." After this comment, Brandon said "You know what? Mr. Sawicki can go eat a whole watermelon." It's apparent that the two didn't care about what everyone else thought.

Presentation and Planned Release

The two toured the entire eighth grade floor, presenting the Thesis in room including Mrs. Weaver, Mrs. Stanchock, and Miss Perez. The two planned to release a version for sale a week before Christmas 2006.

The End of The Thesis

The Thesis was never released for sale because John's parents decided that the reason for his slipping grades was because he was spending too much time on the thesis. They confiscated everything and the thesis ended.
