Some thing to ponder

YANKS

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 traveling at maximum velocity.

The idea is 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 stood shocked 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, like an arrow shot
from a bow.

The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment,
along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists
for suggestions.

Defrost the chicken. :banghead:

It's not their fault... using a microwave much like breathing and walking is a very difficult task.

This joke may shine a bad light on USA but nothing's funnier than a Monarchy.

Sad part about it Sleepy is that it really happened, it happened about 15 years or so back, I didn't post it to give our friends across the border a black eye, It's just damned funny

[sleepy]

I think I saw a Mythbuster's episode on this very same thing. If not the same story, they were certainly shooting frozen chickens at things. It ruled.

[{ESC}Mikey]

Yes they did Sleepy and they also talked about what E21L posted and I am still laughing about it

Thank you E21L for making my ribs hurt again !

[E21L]

If i can put a smile on some ones face then It's all worth while

heard a similar story only it was brtish airways and american airlines

[PoW_CaptMonk]

true or not, i must say it gave me a good laugh.
