OK, OK, one more!!!! Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (True story)Scientists at Roll Royce built a gun specifically tolaunch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners,and military jets , all travelling at maximum velocity.The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents ofcollisions with airborne fowl to test the strength ofthe windshields.American engineers heard about the gun and were eagerto test it on the windshields of their new high-speedtrains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent tothe American engineers.When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked asthe 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 backwall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow.The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs ofthe windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions. This went on for months until a Rolls Royce representative went to the States to find out why this was happening.. A few days after making his report and returning to England, he sent a one line memo to American Airline engineers:"Defrost the chicken."
