Episode summary:

Will launching a chicken at an airplane disrupt its flight, or will the bird be blown away? Is it possible for a woman to swallow an octopus egg — and then give birth to an eight-legged offspring? To see if an airplane's window can resist the crashing of a bird flying at high speed, engineers launch chickens at high speeds into the windows with an air cannon before the window is used in a plane. In this episode the Adam and Jamie test: 1) If launching frozen chickens out of a cannon do more damage when crahing into airplane winshields. 2) If a woman can give birth an octopus by swallowing an octopus egg. 3) If a washing machine with the help of a dog can kill you.
