So Much For Creative Thinking!

So much for creative thinking!

The Difference Between Focus on Problems and Focus on Solutions:-

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface).

In order to solve this problem, they hired Andersen Consulting(Accenture today). It took them one decade and 11 million dollars.

They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

The Russians used a pencil.

Kan Win - maybe its just my dry sense of humour - rated excellent !.

It would make great reading for all walks of life: Pollies, Teachers, Pub Serv, the list is endless. - Termed food for thought - theres always a better way!

You have certainly tickled my fancy - well done - I will be on the lookout for your next input

Sometimes it DOES take a rocket scientist!

Scientists at MI5 built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and ilitary jets 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.

American 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 American 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 Americans sent MI5 the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the UK scientists for suggestions.

The Brits responded with a one-line memo: First defrost the chicken!
