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