Autin did this really happen?
It just demonstrates how you have to know the requirements up front....
communication is everything! Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket
Scientist!(true story)..
Scientists at the Canadian Research Facility built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of Airlines and
military jets, 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.
NASA 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 NASA 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 Americans sent
the Canadian Research Facility the disastrous results of the experiment,
along with the designs of the windshield and begged the Canadian
scientists for suggestions.
The Canadian Research Facility responded with a one-line memo:
"...Defrost the chicken."
