This
is too funny not to share! Sometimes, it seems that "it really does
take a rocket scientist!" For you engineers, you will really enjoy the
irony of this.
Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4 pound
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 windshields of their new high speed
trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the British
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 Brits sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment,
along with the designs of the windshield and begged the U.S.
Scientists for suggestions.
NASA responded with a one-line memo --
"Defrost the chicken."

This is really too funny and I am putting it on my website, www.oicu.com This should get some smiles and laughs for sure.
