How much wood do you suppose a woodchuck could actually chuck if he could?

Asked by WillWorkForChocolate (23163points) October 20th, 2010

Would it depend on his size and stamina for chucking? Would it depend on how many daylight hours there are to see by while he’s chucking? Or would it solely depend on his ability to outchuck the other chuckers?

It might also depend upon the weight and size of the wood he is chucking. A big 10 pound pine log is a lot harder to chuck than a butter-pat sized piece of balsa wood.

It totally depends on your definition of “chuck.” Do you mean to pat or squeeze fondly? To throw or toss, or to give up (quit).

@Kardamom This is true. I didn’t figure that into the equation. If it is a heavy piece of wood, I suppose his mother chucker could help him out…

If it is about throwing wood, my answer is 3.

As many as it took to get down to the grubs hiding under the wood pile.

Probably not as much as everybody would be inclined to believe.

I don’t think he could chuck anything at all. No opposable thumb.

What on earth is wood chucking, anyway? It there really any such thing?

MacBean's avatar

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck.

I cannot believe this has already been asked. Bring on the typing monkeys; we need a Hamlet sequel: Fortinbras – The Reign of Terror.

Could you guys quit talking about me?

@AstroChuck My sincerest apologies dear sir, I meant no offense. By the way, how much wood can you chuck?

Perhaps you would enjoy Andrew’s answer on the March 21 2008 woodchuck question or some of the answers on the March 3 3008 woodchuck question. Several answers on the April Fool’s Day wood chuck question are funny. Enjoy
