Friday Humour
When Science Goes Bad
Scientists at NASA have developed a gun built specifically
to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners,
military jets and the space shuttle, 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.
British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test
it on the windshields of their new high speed trains.
Arrangements were made. But when the gun was fired, the
engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurtled out of the
barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to
smithereens, crashed through the control console, snapped the
engineer's backrest in two and embedded itself in the back
wall of the cabin. Horrified Britons sent NASA the disastrous
results of the experiment, along with the designs of the
windshield, and begged the US scientists for suggestions.
NASA's response was just one sentence...: "Thaw the chicken."

Watson and Holmes Go Camping
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After
a good meal and a bottle of wine they were exhausted and went
to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful
friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you
see."
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?"
Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me
that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions
of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.
Timewise, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter
past three. Theologically, I can see that The lord is all
powerful and that we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, I supect that we will have, a beautiful day
tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you
idiot, Someone has stolen our tent!"
Have a nice weekend
