> Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4

> and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is

> 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.
