Many
scientists, theologists, astrophysisists, environmentalists, and lumberjacks
have devoted thousands of man hours to answering the question-
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck
could chuck wood?
Many years and several million cups of black coffee later,
, they had devised a mathematical system for answering this question based
on a number of factors. It's so simple, even an idiot (with an advanced
degree in hyperbolic topology) could figure it out! So grab a pen and paper,
and finally work out how much wood a woodchuck can chuck! This method is
guaranteed* to work!
-
First, you have to know the SIZE of the woodchuck. So choose
a number between 5 cm (a baby woodchuck) and 500m (the mutated flesh eating
species). Got it? Let's move on.
-
How eager is the woodchuck to chuck wood? Is he bone lazy?
Does he have other things he'd really rather be doing? Or does he live
for the sheer joy that only chucking wood can bring? Choose a number between
1 (catatonic) and 10 (obsessive) relating to the woodchuck's eagerness
to chuck wood. Remember the number you picked in step one? Good! Multiply
the two numbers together.
-
Did you know that 'groundhog' is another name for 'woodchuck'?
You didn't? Really? Well, surely you must know that groundhogs can predict
when spring is coming? You didn't know that either? Don't know a lot, do
you? Maybe you need to take my Woodchuck
crash course . Once you've taken the crash course, you'll understand
why the season is so important to the ability of a woodchuck to chuck wood.
If it's spring where you live, divide the number you've already worked
out by 2. If it's not spring, divide your number by 3.
-
The final factor you need to determine the amount of wood
a woodchuck can chuck is the number of times you've watched the Bill Murray
movie, "Groundhog Day". Add this number to your total.
