mr2mk1g 10 #4 May 6, 2005 Anybody think of the Memphis belle when they saw pic #3? Remember the scene where they’re hit by flack and the pilot's convinced he’s hit but it turns out to be tomato soup? Must have thought they were getting shot at for a moment. On the up side I'm sure you’d be able to mount the head. After visitors initial shock you could explain you didn't hunt and shoot it beginning: "Actually there’s a funny story behind that..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wartload 0 #5 May 6, 2005 Quick story - I hope I get it right! UL aircraft designer Chuck Slusarczyk once worked for NASA and was assigned to a project developing bird-proof windshields. To test various materials and configurations, they built what they affectionately called "The Chicken Cannon" -- a pneumatic device that would launch a whole fryer at the mockup being tested, at speeds equivalent to a jet aircraft in flight. Once they were through with it, an agency in the UK asked to borrow it. NASA complied and shipped the thing off to them. Several days later they got a very disturbing call. On the first test, the bird not only penetrated the test windshield, it also went through the testbed itself ... and the wall behind it. "What should we do?", the Brits asked. "Thaw the chicken" was Chuck's reply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
