Jul 16, 2008 21:45:09 About as much dew as a dew drop could drop if a dew drop could drop dew.

But how much dew could a dew drop drop if a dew drop could drop dew?

Jul 16, 2008 21:51:50 Woodchucks born with the unnaturally aggressive tendency to chuck wood invariably tire out after forty pounds of wood are chucked in a single 24 hour period.

I think the more important question is, why do they do it in the first place? This timeless riddle fueled my latest bestseller, "Angry Beavers and the Oak Cords That Love Them."

I want a world where these kinds of things no longer happen.

Jul 17, 2008 8:19:24 According to wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodchuck

There are three answers:

1) "As much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood."
2) "A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood."
3) "A woodchuck would chuck all the wood, if a woodchuck only could."

Sadly it seems, however:

"The etymology of the name woodchuck is unrelated to wood or chucking."

Which of course means that in reality, the woodchuck can't chuck any wood

It's in the Huge Old File of Many, Many, Many Bookmarks and I don't feel like digging it up.

So there. :P :D
