 Chicken Gun | | By: Mark Daye | Published: 03/05/2000 | | |  |

Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist.
Scientists at NASA have developed a gun built
specifically to launch
dead chickens at the windshields
of airliners, military jets and
spaceshuttles, all travelling at maximum velocity.
The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions
with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.
British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it
on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements
were made to borrow the gun. But when the gun was fired, the
engineers stood shocked as tile chicken hurtled out of the
barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to
smithereens, crashed through the control console, snapped the
engineer's backrest in two and embedded
itself in the back wall of the cabin.
Horrified, Britons sent NASA the
disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of
the windshield, and asked the U.S. scientists for suggestions.
NASA's response was just one sentence: "Thaw the chicken."

They should sort their heads out!What?
