Hey listers I just had to pass this one on to you folks.
Sometimes it DOES take a rocket scientist.....
Scientisits at NASA have developed a gun built specifically
to launch
dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military
jets and the
space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea
is to
simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with
aireborne fowl to
test the strength of the windshields.
British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to
test it on the
windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made.
But when the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken
hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatter-proof windshield
and smashed it to smithereens, crashed through the control console,
snapped the engineer's backrest in two and embedded itself in the back
wall of the cabin. Horrified, Britons sent NASA the disastrous results
of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield, and
begged the US scientists for suggestions. NASA's response was just one
sentence: "Thaw the chicken."
