Re: Jokes and Riddles Centre
NASA developed a special gun to fire a (dead) chicken at high speeds to test the duribility of the space shuttle in the event of a collision with a flock of birds during flight. The French, who were at the time developing a new high-speed train, asked NASA if they could borrow the gun to test out the glass in the train's windshield. The results were disasterous. The chicken crashed through the shatter-proof glass, demolished the control panel, and imbedded itself in the back of the control room. Naturally, the French engineers were frantic and they begged NASA to help them bird-proof their train. NASA's solution was simple:
Thaw the chicken first.

which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.
