Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (alleged 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 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."

i have one similar, and also true and funny.

Some american scientists where working on designing a very small drill bit to sell to medical laboratories and sorts, and the swedish scientists where doing the same thing, so it was sortof a race. the americans finally got it down to 1/10 the thickness of a human hair, and, feeling that they had clearly one, got on their high horse and sent the drill bit by express mail to the swedish scientists. a week later, the package returned in the mail, and the americans opened the packaging and took out the drill bit - with a hole drilled right through the centre of it...

how would you feel ay?! like such a noob/nob!
