    Default A True Story

    True story


    Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (true story )
    Scientists at Rolls 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 the chicken'
