Hahaha - I love science
 

So, I am watching Naked Science on National Geographic, and they are talking about wind storms.

They got to tornadoes, and how tornadoes wind speed is so severe that it destroys the equipment used to measure the speed.

They talk about this scientist on Ohio that noticed that a tornado could pluck the feathers off a chicken. So, what speed would you need to accomplish this?

His solution? Take a cannon, point it straight up in the air, and stuff the chicken down the barrel, and fire it off, then using ballistics calculate the speed.

He came up with 341 MPH.

Was pretty funny watching his filming of this experiment.

lol
i've never even heard of that show. sounds pretty interesting though.

Isn't naked science the one where they have the scientists on an island trying to build shit? I was amazed at how they used barbed wire as an antenna and raw quartz as the crystal etc. Damn good show and I found it really made me think more about what was around me as I do a lot of prospecting and camping.

that is a fucking retarded scientist

was the chicken dead before? or after the cannon shot it's feathers off?

How much wind would it take to blow pubic hairs off a pussy?

Ready... Aim...

:small-smi

Discory is always on int he background, except for today. Sounds like I missed something :(

Was National Geographic Channel, not Discovery

I love edu-ma-cational programs, especially being a pornographer.

No, something different . . . when I was about 7 or 8 I built a crystal radio set. Pretty hard to change stations when you are using a rock as a receiver.

sounds like a good show, I've never seen or heard of it

I read NG but my mushy head interpreted it as Discovery :disgust

Ok then I didn't miss anything. I only have the different Discovery channels :winkwink:

it was dead

Do you have someone we can stuff into a cannon to test the wind speed required to pluck pussy hairs off?

I love science for shit like this

The name of the show I was thinking of is Rough Science. They take a few physists and scientists and challenge them to build shit with what ever they find on the island. They have built radios, weather stations, clocks and all kinds of other stuff with whatever was around. Really cool and fairly amazing.

I been thinking of excuses to fire a chicken from a cannon for 6 years now, tornadoes never even crossed my mind....
