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.

Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo...
