As to the extent of this being real?...Hmmm :lol: But I found it very funny! 
Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, 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.
British 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 British engineers.
When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurtled out of the gun barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow.
The horrified Brits sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment along with the designs of the windshield, and begged the US scientists for suggestions.
NASA responded with a one line memo:
"Thaw the chicken."
