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

This all depends on which definition of "chuck" you use. The most common definition is "throw". It would take a significant anatomical change for a woodchuck to be able to throw anything any meaningful distance. Such a change could only be achieved by evolution or the intervention of modern science, and it is highly likely that the end result would no longer be a member of the woodchuck family, rendering the question moot. So the answer would be "none!" The secondary definition of chuck is to "touch (someone) playfully or gently under the chin." As wood has no chin, it could not be chucked in this fashion. So we can definitively say that woodchucks could chuck no wood.

However, as a noun chuck has another meaning: food or provisions. It's not a stretch of the imagination to go from "noun meaning food" to "verb meaning eat". Feast, for example, can be used both ways. So if we do take this small liberty, the question then becomes "how much wood can a woodchuck eat?" While the woodchuck seems to lack the dental equipment necessary to eat wood in nature, sawdust is readily available in many areas. While a steady diet of sawdust would almost certainly result in malnutrition and death, barring other consequences such as poisoning or the inability to digest the material I would postulate that a woodchuck could consume--chuck--quite a bit of wood over its lifetime so long as it was supplemented with the actual dietary requirements of the animal.

In other words...a lot.

Bugs are too small to contain the necessary quantity of gas to enable farting. There is no doubt they would if they could, but sadly they just can't.

Oh that is easy. The thing that was going to turn in to a whatsit, will evolve in to a you know what.

Why does the Moon orbit the Earth and rotate in just the right way, so that always see just one side? Doesn't that seem like a little too much of a coincidence? That it would just somehow have the perfect orbit and rotation speed for that? Doesn't that seem just a little bit improbable? I'm not buying it-- something's going on here.

First of all the best sci fi series, clearly, is the tragically cut short "Space, above and beyond". I found it quite creepy but very engaging and was most disappointed when it ended.

Your beer, it is empty, simply due to the fact you are drinking it. This is a good thing™ and to be encouraged. Get more. Now.

I have to share your cynicism here. It is all really far too convenient. So what is REALLY going on? Well, unsurprisingly, I have a pub induced theory on this.

The moon is actually piloted by an alien species, that have been spying on us for many thousands of years. The original plan was to watch us, and see if we were worthy of being invited to join some kind of space faring civilisation. However they soon realised we were too aggressive, and not really very nice so decided not to reveal themselves. But they are there. I KNOW.

Some fab questions there. I shall do my best!

The meaning of life, is often mistakenly considered to be 42. This is incorrect. 42 is the answer to the life, universe, and EVERYTHING. The meaning of life, therefore, is a third of this. Based on this theory, (you will be amazed to hear it was derived in a pub), the meaning of life, is 14.

It is raining now, because my wife wanted me to cut the grass. Simple really.

Hilmar, despite what we all think of him, can never be doubted for his passion for this game. Sure, he went off the track and lost focus, but he is not entirely blameless. No, we have to blame Japanese jeans manufacturers (I went there, sorry!). He wore them and they were so tight they cut the blood to his brain, which, sadly is in his ass. Because of this, he thought Incarna was good. He has since seen the error of his ways, conveniently since replacing the jeans.

Well, this is an interesting conundrum.

I refer you to the law of opposites. You see, if you try to drive on a driveway, or worse, park on a parkway, the molecular composition of the very fabric of the universe will become unstable. And you may spill your drink.

If you have ever watched the live feed of the house of commons in UK, the prime minister would answer this with a well used statement when asked a question he has already answered.....

"I refer the honourable gentleman to the response I gave some moments ago".

However, as I am nice I will simply quote my answer from page 1, as it was also asked there:

"As has already been mentioned, the question regarding swallows can only be answered when specifying if it is African or European. This difference is very important. I even asked Siri, and he said the same thing."

This is a popular question, and you can see why!

I routinely drive on my driveway, often as I enter or exit my garage.

Parking on parkways is for Californians. They do seem to love their traffic.

Women's libidos peak at age 27-45. Men's at, what, about 13. Quite a mismatch in ages, I think you'll agree. My questions:
1) Would it be best if 13-year-old males married, say, 40-year-old females? So that everybody's libido is about at the same level?
2) Did nature have some reasonable reason for doing it this way? Or was it just a cruel joke?

One of my cars tyres has gone flat.

However - it is only flat on the bottom. Can I turn it over and continue to drive?

Well, an interesting conundrum you got there. Now, if this was answered by a 13 year old male, it might be different, but I feel a 13 year old marrying a 40 year old is a bit wrong. Not for sex reasons, no, as a 13 year old it would be amazing, but then shge would make you do your homewoek. Clean the dishes etc. You would become a legalised sex slave. Not good.

2 - Yes, nature is a woman apparently, so consider it a really evil joke. Nature is a ***** and she knows it.
