Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!

Scientists at the Canadian Research Facility built a gun specifically to

launch dead chickens at the windshields of airlines and military jets, all

traveling at maximum velocity.  The idea is to simulate the frequent

incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the

windshields.

 

NASA engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the

windshields of their new high speed trains.  Arrangements were made, and a

gun was sent to the NASA engineers.

 

When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled

out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to

smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's

backrest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an

arrow shot from a bow.

 

The horrified Americans sent the Canadian Research Facility the disastrous

results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and

begged the Canadian scientists for suggestions.(scroll down)

 

 

The Canadian Research Facility responded with a one-line memo:

"Defrost the chicken."
