Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (true story)
Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets 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.
American 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 American 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 back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin like an arrow shot from a bow.
The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions.

Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo:

"Defrost the chicken."

Not much went thru its mind ... on account it was already dead ... fridge freezing frosty too ...

It's a legend within the engineering community, along with a long running design problem while building the space shuttle. One part was being engineered by a british company and was precision built and shipped to the states, where it was found to be completley wrong. the engineers consulted the plans and much head scratching was done with both sides insisting that their half of the equipment was absolutley perfect.
After several weeks of arguing it was finally noticed that the fault was......one side using metric and the other side using imperial mesurements :doh:

....and I believe thats also the reason the Hubble Telescope maintenance programme was postponed a few years back, the Americans got their sums wrong when converting from metric SI to Imperial units, just how many decimal places do they need !!!
I also hear that Bill Clinton wanted to switch the US to metric but this is blocked because the standard of education is so low, millions of people would be clue-less !

When the space race was at it's height the Americans spent millions on inventing a pen that would write in zero gravity, the Russians just took a pencil.
The real story behind that always reminds of Reese, as it strikes me as the type of odd thing that would occur to him and set him off inventing.

I've got one of them pens as an x-mass pressy from my uncle.
The funnyiest thing about the pen is it can write on most things except the box in which it came :shock: (Ok so i'm a nerd and had to try and write on just about anything in reach to see if it worked lol)
