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…

An engineer encounters a frog... A Civil engineer, while doing field work, comes across a frog, who suddenly begins to speak to him. ""Sir"" she says, ""I know this must seem very strange, but I'm actually a woman, cursed to inhabit this frog form. But if you would help me, you could turn me back into a woman with a simple kiss."" The engineer smiles, picks up the frog, and sticks her inside a box, closing the lid. The frog is startled into silence, but after some time kicks and shouts to get th…

A physicist, engineer, and mathematician are asked by a local farmer to build the smallest fence they possibly can to hold in all of his sheep. The physicist builds a big fence and slowly reduces the size until he can't reduce the fence any longer. The engineer measures each sheep, stacks them in a specific way, and then builds a fence around them. The mathematician builds a small fence around himself, then defines himself to be outside the fence.
