sometimes it DOES take a rocket scientist (a true story)
Scientists at NASA built a gun 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 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 backrest 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 US scientists
for suggestions.
NASA responded with a one line memo: "Defrost the chicken."
on a seperate note...SUMMER IN 5 DAYS!!! AHhhhhhhhhh SCHWEEET!! and RIGHT NOW I feel like the ULTIMATE stereotypical californian teenager. I'm in a tourquoise halter dress made out of t-shirt material w/ sunglasses (yes at night) wearing a leather necklace w/ a big metal circle...and of couse flip flops. HAHAHA good god I LOVE SUMMER!!!!!!! Life is good. and lastly I hope to see EVERYONE at eric's this weekend. EUROTRASH DANCE PARTY YAY!!!!!
