Something funny

I got this a few years ago, and just found it yesterday.

This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversasion of a US naal ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995.
Americans:
Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
Canadians:
Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
Americans:
This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians:
No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans:
THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP!
Canadians:
We are a lighthouse. Your call.

He'll also always be utterly insane...

And, no, I've no clue what craig said. Does anyone, ever?

But hey, he's gotten better over the past few months...

The better the spelling, the more insane!

Doing the University email circuit:

Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!!

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 hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's backrest 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: "Defrost the chicken."

P.S. I beleive that the above is not true BUT such a machine was made and used for testing the effects of bird ingestion on Turboprop engines by Rolls Royce (British company) after a fatal air accident on takeoff involving one of their engines (they didn't use chickens, and I am unsure about defrosting). - Curdis !

This thread has now been offically hijacked. Stay calm and it might just all end alright. Please remain seated and observe the no smoking sign. We will be landing at a destination of someone else's choice. The Banshee unilateral national network international executive - BUNNIE.
