*surprise in face*
*seriously considers question*

How much pressure does it take to pierce an elephants skin, and can we fire one chicken beak first at the velocity required to produce this pressure?

a decent amount and... probably. 

EDIT: near the eyes it is paper thin, so almost certainly. so we would need... one chicken beak and a high velocity chicken beak launcher.

My favorite thing is the surprise on guys faces when I take control of a conversation by asking them how many chickens it would take to kill an elephant.

Its amazing.

That sounds like my kind of conversation

Nah not a chicken beak. We launch a whole Chicken, beak first, at the elephant

well, you could use a beak, but the chicken would work. it might kill the chicken, but still. so Insa, the answer is 1!

@InfiniteInsanity there you go

 

One speedy drumstick is all you need.

if we don't use a launcher though... how many would we need?

Thousands, I bet. The best way would probably be to suffocate the elephant with chicken bodies.

or crush it with the weight, but that would be less efficient

Y'all sound like @The Bookwyrm.

The only answer he'll give me is "If you launch it at the speed of light it only takes one." 

At least y'all have considered an alternative.

But the true question is how many toddlers does it take to beat an elephant?

5 or 6. 

Toddlers are very determined creatures.

[Morningtide she/her]

They really, really are. They will not stop until they have dominated whatever they want!

[InfiniteInsanity she/her]

We should all be very terrified of them.

Yes! Imagine if they were full human sized! Giant 5-6 foot people with more determination and energy and less common sense or logic!

I will not argue with you on that point!

really, a chicken launched at the speed of light would take out almost anything within at least a mile radius

Are you sure about that?

I'm pretty sure the destruction would be far, far greater than you suggest.

First of all, it's impossible.

And then there are other things too, but I'm not going to try to explain because there are people here who actually know these things and I don't want to make myself look even more stupid.

We wouldn't be launching it at lightspeed. That's impossible. You'd need an infinite amount of energy to get a massive object moving at 1c. 

But as long as you have enough energy you can get things moving at decent clips close to 1c.

If we launched a chicken at .9c, or 90% the speed of light, it would fuse with the air it crashed into on a nuclear level, causing a gigantic nuclear explosion and cloud of radiation and death.

so what you're saying is... it wouldn't destroy a whole mile radius?

I'm saying that I don't know what the radius is, but it's enough to kill an elephant.
