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

...

And, more importantly, why are they called woodchucks if they don't chuck wood?

These are the types of silly questions my mind dwells on until I feel like I am going stark raving mad. It all comes full circle, though, when I realize I am already stark raving mad and then I'm ok.

:crazy:

1. One bright day
in the middle of the night
Two dead boys
got up to fight.

Back to back
they faced each other
drew their swords
and shot each other

I swear it is true
If you don't believe me
Ask the blind man
He saw it, too!

;) :hi:

3. If a woodchuck could chuck wood
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could.

and more importantly,

A woodchuck is a type of marmot more commonly known as a groundhog, or sometimes a
whistlepig. All three names conjure up amusing etymological
possibilities, but the 'chuck' in 'woodchuck' probably derives from
one or more Native American languages (Algonquian "ockqutchaun" or
Cree "otcheck", etc.), so the origin of the 'chuck' part of the name
has nothing whatsoever to do with the verb 'to chuck', or 'to throw'...

and most importantly,

Aren't my cut and paste skills most impressive?
