Sometimes it does take a rocket scientist

[rogue1896]

not sure if anyone's seen this but i find it funny.

if your British you may not want to read. lol

Sometimes it DOES take a rocket scientist!! (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

travelling 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 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 US scientists

for suggestions.

You're going to love this......

NASA responded with a one-line memo: "Defrost the chicken."

LOL I have seen many funnies on this site but that takes the freaking cake.lol

[rogue1896]

even without the punch line it's funny. just the fact that people have invented a gun that fires dead chickens is absolutely hilarious. ;D

[TMA_1]

lol yes it is. But as the old saying goes, "Somebody's gotta do it".

[emprworm]

Heheh, I always found the British funny. Their comedy is one of the best in the world, IMHO. It never ceases to amaze me though, how funny they can get when they do ridiculously stupid things. ::)

I know this is all in good humour, but at least the ruler of our country isnt portrayed throughout the world as a gun-slinging idiot ::). No offence meant, of course.

and yes we have great comedy shows ;D 8).

No, but he IS portrayed as his sidekick.

Already knew that one :)

John has a rather big problem. A squirel stole his wallet and now sits in the tree in his backyard. He can't climb himself, so he calls his friend Jack for help.

Jack arrives with a shotgun and a huge, mean looking dog.

"What the hell do you need those for?" John asks.

"It's like this. I climb into the tree, and push the squirel off the brench. Then the dog will respond by running to the squirel and he will kill it."

"Then what's the shotgun for?"

"Well, just in case I fall from the tree first, shoot the dog."

What,t he Americans stole the Chicken Cannon?! My god, the greatest weapon the world hast ever seen may be used by those it so often targets....

[Acriku]

There is documentation that the French were actually the first to propel chickens very fast, as a weapon. It was only inevitable that America make a gun out of it. If you want the documentation watch Holy Grail :D

[Mahdi]

America didn't make the Chicken Cannon, they stole it....

[Acriku]

You use a cannon, we use a gun. :) It's probably a sawed off surface to air missile launcher for a good "fwoomp"

I remmeber that story. Prats we may be, but at least the test proved an outstanding success for the trains. (Apart from our outstanding failure in everything else concerned with trains).

[Anathema]

Silly canadians :P

[emprworm]

if you loaded those chickens with deadly diseases, it might make for a biological weapon

[rogue1896]

or maybe if you stuck some kind of radiation thing inside of it you could cause someone radiation poisoning. lol. the weapon of the future. the Chicken Launcher.

[Desert_Eagle25]

lmao thats freakin funny as hell

Shoot it at the Taliban, maybe they will catch it and cook it....

[Acriku]

Cook it? Seeing so much food for the first time I would eat it feathers and all.

[DjCiD]

I thought they were using frozen chickens for maximum distance and damage
