martinsc Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 old, but still funny as hell... Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (true story): 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 was to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl 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 watched in shock 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. The horrified engineers sent Rolls Royce the film of 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 them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroChaos Veteran Posted June 26, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2003 i really have nothing to add, except for the fact that i remember watching jeopardy about 8 years ago, and one of the players was the guy who shot the gun with birds in it at airplane windshields. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
