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
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 US scientists for
suggestions.
NASA responded with a one-line memo:
"Thaw the
Chicken"
An Aveling driver was staggering out of the beer tent with a pint of whiskey in his back pocket when he slipped and fell heavily. Struggling to his feet, he felt something wet running down his leg. "Please Lord," he implored, "let it be blood!!" MICROSOFT
SHOULD MAKE CARS, FORD SHOULD MAKE SOFTWARE. At
a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry
with the auto industry and stated: “If
Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be
driving twenty-five pound cars that got 1000 miles to the gallon” In
response to Bill’s comments, Ford issued a press release stating
the following: “If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would be
driving cars with the following characteristics: 1.
For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day. 2.
Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new
car. 3.
Occasionally, your car would die on the motorway for no reason, and you would
accept this, restart, and drive on. 4.
Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car
to shut down and refuse to restart; in which case you would have to reinstall
the engine. 5.
Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought ‘Car98’ or
‘CarNT.’ Then you would have
to buy more seats. 6.
Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was more reliable,
five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five
percent of the roads. 7.
The oil, water, temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by
a single ‘general car fault’ warning light. 8.
New seats would force everyone to have the same bum size. 9.
The airbag system would say ‘Are you sure?’
Before going off. 10.
Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse
to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key
and grabbed hold of the radio antenna 11.
Ford would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of A.A.
road maps, even though they neither need them nor want
them Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car’s
performance to diminish by 50 per cent or more. 12.
Every time Ford introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to
drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same
manner as the old car. 13. You’d press the ‘Start’ button to shut off the engine. What was the first vehicle in the world to run on a Tarmac road? A Roller Car Names Explained
