that depends. You left out one variable.

volume. fine.
and the variable is dichotomous.
Either he can chuck = 1
Or he cannot chuck = 0

You forgot variables...time...and rate
If woodchuck could chuck,Wood chucked = r * t

apparantly there aren't any woodchucks in aust.
but... there are woodducks.
hence...how much wood would a woodduck duck if a woodduck could duck wood?
etc.

Estella more physolosophy. I wanted to say how sharp are the woodcuck's teeth. But obviously I have no clue you all have more education than I do. Love Phillipa

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, and he chucked it at a woodduck, the woodduck better duck all the wood the woodchuck could chuck.

Woodchucks can chuck as much wood as they want.
Who's going to stop them?

Jost,
The folks in South Dakota are fond of some woodchuck stew, I've heard. Open season on woodchucks limits the amount of wood chucked.I think that the amount of wood chucked is some variable of sharpness of teeth, hardness of wood, strength of jaw pressure, and the sheer willpower of the little rodent. An apathetic woodchuck will not chuck as much as an ardent woodchucker. And why are they called woodchucks anyways?

how do you know if the woodchuck is just chucking instead of upchucking?
(It's questions like those -- or maybe their answers -- that led me to physics instead of biology. Just too squishy!)

If the woodchuck is upchucking in the forest, and no one sees it, did it still upchuck?

hahahahaha
i know wood ducks are called wood ducks 'cause they are ducks that live in trees (in the woods i guess) probably 'cause there aren't enough lakes to go around
hahahahhaha
dunno about the woodchucks tho

>
> hahahahhahaI always thought this was a joke, but I guess there's some truth to it:
Q: Why do ducks have webbed feet?
A: To stamp out forest fires.I mean, if your house was on fire, you'd want to put it out too, right? Hmmm ... but it still doesn't explain the follow up to that:
Q: Why do elephants have flat feet?
A: To stamp out burning ducks.I guess I'll have to think a bit more about that one.
