When Science Goes Bad

Scientists at NASA have developed a gun built 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. But when the gun was fired, the
engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurtled out of the
barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to
smithereens, crashed through the control console, snapped the
engineer's backrest in two and embedded itself in the back
wall of the cabin. Horrified Britons sent NASA the disastrous
results of the experiment, along with the designs of the
windshield, and begged the US scientists for suggestions.

NASA's response was just one sentence, "Thaw the chicken."
