Rocket Science

Scientists at NASA have developed a gun built specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling 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 windshield of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made. But when the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the 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 begged the U.S. scientists for suggestions. NASA's response was just three words, "Thaw the chicken." Why not join the rest of us on the inside and get all of Goofball.com?

To be honest, I'm surprised it wasn't submitted sooner! For further reading: http://www.snopes.com/science/cannon.htm ...we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year...

What exactly is..... (0 replies)   started by willi (09.15.2002 1:56:46 AM EST) the maximum velocity of a chicken, dead or alive? Personally, I don't think a chicken has ever moved any faster than that undercooked salmonella-ridden chicken did through my colon at the company picnic.
