[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 115388, member: 1726"] Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4 lb dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets & the space shuttle, 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. French engineers heard about the gun & were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, & a gun was sent to the French 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 back-rest in two, & embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow. The horrified French sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield & begged the US scientists for suggestions. NASA responded with a one-line memo. -- "Defrost the chicken." (True Story) [/QUOTE]
