| Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the engines of airliners and military jets, all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea was to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the containment and strength of the engines. American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the engines of their aircraft. Arrangements were made and a gun was sent to the American engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers watched in shock as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the compressor face, smashed it to smithereens, totally destroying the engine. The horrified Americans sent Rolls Royce the film of the disastrous results of the experiment, and begged the British engineers for suggestions. Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo: Defrost the chicken. |    |
