Hello, Jasen.  We were chatting about wind impact testing - -

 JB> This is also how the test aircraft for collisions with birds...
 JB> they buy frozen chickens for the purpose of ammunution

 JH> they have a compressed air canon setup, and fire an actual
 JH> piece of "2x4" lumber of set size and weight to impact the door or
 JH> window at a specified velocity.  The door or shutter may be
 JH> damaged, but it passes if it is not breached.

 JB> some company making a very fast train locomotive borrowed the setup,
 JB> but on testing their mockup it they discovered that the chicken smashed
 JB> theought the windscreen an embedded itself in the rear bulkhead, they
 JB> asked for help

 JB> they got a three word response
 JB>   Thaw the chicken.

ROFLMAO!
Well, we're all human, and sometimes it is fun to have a chuckle when we
realize that others, even scientific testing types, also sometimes make
mistakes.
