...there was a story years ago about the air force using chickens fired from a pneumatic cannon at airplane windshields. These test had been performed at lockheed, but the airforce wanted to do some studies of their own. They were trying to determine the size of the bird that might break a windshield and at what angle the windows should be mounted in order to be a most effective "deflector". After a couple of weeks of chicken testing, the air force wrote lockheed and told em that when they fired chickens at the windshields they shattered em no matter what size bird they used and no matter what the angle or velocity of the bird was.

Lockheed wrote em back and told em to thaw out the chickens first.

Sounds pretty nutty to me, Nemo.

"when fourteen commercial aircraft reported spontaneously shattered windshields as the presumed result of electromagnetic pulses."

??? Someone please explain to me why electromagnetic pulses shatter windshields.

re: "And if viewed from the air, the runways are revealed to be laid out in the shape of a Nazi swastika."

Nooo, I don't think so. Maybe after dropping some acid...
