How much???

So I was thinking about that old (yet strangely new)riddle, you know the one…

How Much Wood, Could A Woodchuck Chuck? If A Woodchuck, Could Chuck Wood?


WTF??? Who thought this up(given that it was probably a speech teacher)

Anyhow...


Here’s what I came up with(found):

The amount of wood that woodchucks would chuck on a day changes greatly with the individual woodchuck. According to New York State wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equal to 700 pounds.

BUT...
I think it depends on 3 things:

  1. How much the wood chuck wants to chuck wood.
  2. How much wood the woodchuck needs to chuck.
  3. If the woodchuck is able to chuck wood.

I asked my friends on MySpace and they said:

  • He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
    If a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would and should chuck wood. But if woodchucks can't chuck wood, they shouldn't and wouldn't chuck wood. Though were I a woodchuck, and I chucked wood, I would chuck wood with the best woodchucks that chucked wood.
  • It would chuck the amount of wood that she sells seashells on the seashore divided by how many pickles Peter Piper picks.
  • A woodchuck could not chuck more than Chuck Norris could chuck wood.
  • It might depend on how many female woodchucks were present. Or, it could depend on whether the woodchuck's mother-in-law was around or not. If she was, he'd be chucking all day. If not, he'd be watching the football game.
  • It depends on how good his dentures are!
  • A woodchuck, would chuck, as much wood, as a woodchuck, could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood. But unfortunately, woodchucks do not chuck wood.
  • Um....... 23????
  • If the woodchucks name was Maurice, then it could chuck all the wood that it wants to. However, if its name is Frank, no chucking would be for it.

PS

Wikipedia says:

The groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as the woodchuck, land beaver or whistlepig, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. Most marmots, such as yellow-bellied and hoary marmots, live in rocky and mountainous areas, but the woodchuck is a lowland creature. It is widely distributed in North America and common in the northeastern and central United States. Groundhogs are found as far north as Alaska, with their habitat extending southeast to Alabama.




So yeahhhhh...
