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

Question

lets ponder..shall we

Answer 1

As much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck would.

Answer 2

It turns out that woodchucks actually don't chuck wood, which the rhyme implies. However, "wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could (and does) chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equivalent to the weight of the dirt, or 700 pounds."

EDIT: Some more responses from Google Answers say:

"According to GetOdd.com:

Per hour (median amount): 158 butt cords.
Per day: 684 butt cords.

http://www.getodd.com/stuf/stupid/woodchuck.html

Extrapolating from those figures:

Per month: 20748 butt cords.
Per year (assuming 364 days - Woodchucks take Groundhog Day off): 248976 butt cords.

Of course, the Mad Scientist's Network has different figures, claiming that the average woodchuck can chuck about 700 pounds of wood in the same amount of time it takes him to build his burrow. They don't say how long that takes, alas, but the figures are interesting."
