Rudolph's red nose is a popular topic for songs at Christmas time, but what's the real story behind it ?

The study looked at the deer's nasal circulation and found similarities to the microvasculature in the region with that of humans.

Drink, sadly. That's why all the other Reindeers wouldn't let him join in any Reindeer games, because he was permanently sloshed.

It all dates back to a winter's day long ago in Russia when the wife of a farmer named Rudolf looked out of the kitchen window and said "I zink it iz snowing, Rudolf." Rudolf looked up from his bowl of borsch and replied, "Nyet Olga, zat is rain zat you see." Olga looked again and had to agree with her husband, it was raining. "You are a very clever man, Rudolf." she said. Rudolf slurped another spoonful and nodded, "Rudolf ze Red knows rain dear."
