Important Query

Seeing as there are no threads in this "general" forum, I thought I better start one.

Okay, here goes...

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

[Lisa]

Darn it, Aphew, you think I'm a PhD or something? I still haven't figured out how many pickled peppers Peter Piper picked, so I have no chance on the woodchuck thing.

Especially since you have probably only had "two and a half hours of sleep". :)

Here's a question for you: A passenger jet flying from Chicago to Toronto crashes right at the border between the US and Canada. Wreckage is strewn all over, and it's impossible to determine in which country impact occurred. In which country are the survivors buried?

that one is too easy

I wish the Survivors would kill and eat Jeff Probst. Now THAT I would watch.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I believe there was a study done in Paramus, NJ where it was determined that woodcucks can indeed chuck wood and that 15 cords would be the maxamum amount chucked in a one hour period with two 5 minute breaks

Ah, Thank you. I will look into that the next time I get to the library.

Dadburnit, Biggles, you don't bury survivors. Unless they're =really, really= asking for it.

Come on Mike! Where's the challenge if they can't resist?

This whole "reality TV" BS gives me an idea. They want reality? How about: "Survivor: Food Chain". Put 8 people on an island with nothing but the clothes on their backs, a Swiss Army knife, and a .308 bolt action rifle with a 4x scope. Is that real enough? Variations could pit members of New York's 5 families against each other or maybe gang bangers from different gangs.

[Bluesman Mike Lindner]

None whatsoever. That's why you don't make your move for your boneyard shovel unless they do something stupid like looking at you funny.

[Bluesman Mike Lindner]

Creative thinking! But if you want a cool book about =real= survival under unpromising conditions, try Heinlein's TUNNEL IN THE SKY. One of his very best, and brother, that's saying one heapin' mouthful.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

PRECISELY 1.27793645296022100543789328 cubic metres per metric day. A metric day is precisely 1.00793 "English days", and is a separate unit of measure purely because most of the EU and other "civilized" countries want the UK and US to "eat $h*t and die". Thus they refuse to use our units of measurement. Of course, my response to them is "F--- You", but that's another topic. :D

I got one: There are five apples. Take two from the five. What have you got?

For answer, highlight below:

Two, not three. Don't subtract 2 from 5. You've taken two apples from the group of five, so you have two apples.

Woodchuckers Local 838 told me when I called for the answer that a Unionized Woodchuch could chuck that wood, but would up chuck on that schedule, they suggested better collective bargaining meetings for the NJ Woodchucks and said they could, should and would chuck wood at the rate of 8 cords per hour with two ten minutes breaks and would need an additional twenty minute break every three hours to maintain chucking equipment, or none chucks.

[BK Akitas]

now here's another really important question. you're a bus driver and at the first stop 8 ppl get on board. at the next stop 2 get off and 8 get on. at the next stop 4 get off and 3 get on board. atthe next stop only 1 gets off. at the next stop 4 get off and 12 get on and at the next 6 get on and 8 get off.




so the question is:













how old is the bus driver?

[Silverfish]

I always finished it:
He will chuck as much wood as a wood chuck could chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood.

Ha ha, falling off my seat @ Jeff Probost.

Also, union one was funny.

That study had its vogue, but is no longer taken seriously. The methodology was fatally flawed, the statistics were skewed, and the sanity of the authors was questioned in WHITHER WOODCHUCKING?--A SYMPOSIUM, edited by M. J. Lindner, University of Chicago Press, Chicago IL, 2005. Good bathroom reading!

Didn't Greenpeace come out with an article labeling wood chucks as the second biggest offender of deforestation on the planet and for once was in agreement of making this critter extinct? I seem to remember reading that on the back of a "Richie Rich" comic book. (made from the leftovers from that very industrious critter, the wood chuck.);)

That would make me 36.:p

That rings a bell, Ken--you might very well be right. But I'll have to check in my library. Might take awhile, though--I've got my RITCHIE RICH books all mixed-up with my LITTLE LOTTA, DOT, and STUMBO THE GIANT volumes. When can a scholar find time to organize...?:(
But if memory serves, seagoing 'chucks gnawed through the hull of the Greenpeace ship RAINBOW WARRIOR and sent it to Fiddler's Green. The French took the rap for that one.
As well they should.

Based on the same equation you gave, what color eyes do they have? (that's how I heard this originaly)
