How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Beats the hell out of me.
@Puss In Boots:
A woodchuck would chuck all he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
A more concrete answer was published by the Associated Press in 1988, which reported that a New York fish and wildlife technician named Richard Thomas had calculated the volume of dirt in a typical 25–30-foot (7.6–9.1 m) long woodchuck burrow, and had determined that if the woodchuck had moved an equivalent volume of wood, it could move "about 711 pounds (323 kg) on a good day, with the wind at his back". 4951
