Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch dead
chickens at the windshields of air-liners, 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 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
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."
