the fowled experiment 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, th…

Death of a College Student I was having some trouble in my Physics class; I just couldn't understand some of the things I was being taught. I decided to go to office hours to try to learn directly from my professor. Even in office hours, the other students were much better than me, and I was constantly getting questions wrong.

There was this guy who liked cable cars, There was this guy who loved cable cars ever since he was young, he just enjoyed watching them roll up and down the large hills of San Francisco(A city in CA), he also enjoyed riding the cable cars, they were such a thrill to him.

It was so exciting and fun, the very thing he loved since he was just a young boy he was now dr…

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 was 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 eng…
