Core Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Scientists at Roll Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, and military jets, all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne birds to test the strength of the windshields. American 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 American 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 and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow. The horrified American Engineers sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions. You're going to love this...... Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo: "Defrost the chicken." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaise Veteran Posted May 28, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 28, 2003 :rofl: reminds me of that "story" where a truck was stuck at the entrance to the Lincoln tunnel and a dozen "experts" including engineers were milling about proposing various solutions including cutting the truck up. Then a little girl leans out the window of a passing car and says "Why don't you let the air out of the tires." btw: where's PETA? They gotta have a problem with this :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaRSightxc2 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 That reminds me of a true story I heard a while ago: During the space race, the Americans decided to develop a piece of writing equipment that could be used in any circumstances: intence heat, freezing conditions, under water and in a vacume. The set about making a pen that could do this with usual American vigor, and spashed hundreds of thousands, and eventually around a million dollars into the development of this special pen. Tests were carried out in all the environments, and the Americans found that the pen they developed was perfect for all conditions. So the head developer of the amazing Space Pen smugly went over to the Russains and said: "Hey, we here in the US have developed this amazing pen! It cost us hundreds of thousands of dollers to develop, but it writes in intence heat, underwater, in arctic conditions and in a vacume! What have you got to rival that then, eh?" To which the Russians relpied: "A Pencil." (Irony being a pencil writes in all the above conditions also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
