Anybody Watch Mythbusters Tonight?

Which is like saying we measured the speed of a VW bug and a Mack Truck and with them at the same speed they should have the same force of impact and damage levels.
It took views writing HUNDREDS of letters for them to revisit the myth and with a totaly differnt outcome.

As for the greasel, I wonder why it is so popular with the older MB's & VW's? Maybe cause if you screw them up you aren't out big money like with our trucks?
You should see the early 80's Mercedes prices on Ebay, WoW!

Well they are correct in saying that both chickens would have the same energy on impact whether frozen or thawed (provided both chickens were the same mass and both were going the same speed).
Its just that the frozen chicken would be harder and do more damage, the thawed one just goes splat.
