Truly special!

We really take life for granted sometimes hey?
 
This is a wonderful, one minute clip
Full of wisdom. . . . and very brief.
It's not a joke, it's not religious, it's not political.
It's just . . . special.
I think you'll agree.
Please enjoy this one minute clip.
It has a meaning for all of us.

Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (true story).

email from Sunil Liyanage

Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens
at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling 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."

email from Lawrence Ratnam

When I was young, my intention was to go to medical school. The entrance exam included several questions that would determine eligibility. One of the questions was "Rearrange the letters "PSNEI"to spell out an
important part of the human body that is more useful when it is erect."
Those who spelled "SPINE" became Doctors. The rest ended up in Politics.
