    Santa's Reindeer

    All of Santa's reindeer are females because males loose their antlers in the winter, and have you ever seen a picture of santa's sleigh being pulled by hornless reindeer? Oh besides Rudolf. He can just shed his horns because he's obviously a guy.

    Science project results of feeding hens pepper to change the yolk color (see picture)
