Subject:The Chicken Test.....THIS IS FUNNY! 

The true story of the Chicken Gun. Too funny not

to share! Sometimes it does take a rocket scientist! 

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 SHATTERPROOFSHIELD, 
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." (TRUE STORY)

	That's a good one with one thing incorrect. It wasn't the British, it was Canada that borrowed it!

	well for what it is worth, Ive always heard it attributed to the Britts…...but frankly, I have also always had serious doubt to the validity of the account. But that's just me
	I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27
