That's quite a bit. I was figuring only around 3. Given that three is
even more important to the continued functioning of the universe...

I'm just wondering why would a woodchuck chuck wood in the first place?
And, if he did, wouldn't he bring GreenWar, oops, I mean Greenpeace down on
himself for hurting the enviroment by chucking all that wood around in the
first place?

Maybe they're some kind of physical adept... you never know... I can just
picture it now... Increased Reflexes(1), Increased Strength(3), Improved

A woodchuck (on steroids) would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck (on
steroids) could chuck if a woodchuck (on steroids) could chuck wood. :P~

Advertising laws. If a woodchuck didn't chuck wood he'd get all kind of
law
suits for fraud, misrepresentation...you name it. Do you know how much
a
woodchuck lawyer costs?

Speaking of 3 and ...erm, "wood", has anyone seen "Hell Comes to

I'm no lawyer but I think that just means that if someone approaches the
woodchuck with some wood to be chucked, said woodchuck must chuck the
aforementioned wood (for a reasonable fee) or face legal repecussions.
Now the exception is if said woodchuck has already chucked his or her
quota of wood for the day. If the woodchuck has met this quota, then any
additional wood chucked may charged an additional overwood fee. The
definition of an international standard has been sought for some time
now. The woodchuck wood chuck standard movement lost some steam after an
US President was caught altering wood chuck reports (see
*Woodchuckgate*). The movement has recovered and soon hopes to make 42
the woodchuck wood chuck standard.

Summary:
How much wood could a (meta)woodchuck (adept)(on steroids) chuck if a
(meta)woodchuck (adept)(on steroids) could chuck wood?

A (meta)woodchuck (adept)(on steroids) would chuck all the wood it
could chuck if a (meta)woodchuck (adept)(on steroids) could chuck
wood, providing that said limit was compliant with the international
woodchuck wood chuck standard and that the said (meta)woodchuck
(adept)(on steroids) was compensated for any overwood done providing
that the (meta)woodchuck (adept) guild has been notified of all
possible overwood work done so that libel arrangements can be made,
noting that the above guild does not support or condone the use of
steroids.

But a (meta)woodchuck (adept)(on steroids) won't chuck all the wood it
could chuck because a (meta)woodchuck (adept)(on steroids) CAN'T CHUCK
WOOD!

42 what? Will this 'international woodchuck standard' make allowance
for
hardwood versus softwood? Will it make allowances for those woodchucks
(Who no fault of their own) are somehow impaired in their ability to
meet this standard? If this standard is to result in a acceptable work
load for those meta physad woodchucks as well as those woodchucks who
are
more 'reality' grounded and don't have the option of being a physad
woodchuck? Perhaps we should arrange for 'enchancement' through
mechanical means of these under-advantaged woodchucks. We should keep
a vigilant lookout against those meta physad woodchucks trying to sneak
in and get these enchancements for themselves. That could lead to an
escalating power struggle that could demolish the world, and all the
wood there-in, as we know it.

PS> Under no circumstance should this standard allow or encourage the
use of
growth hormones.

PPS> Could a woodchuck be trained to work in other agricultural areas?
Such
as soy. Could Soychucks be the new secret weapon of Stuff-it Shacks?

A woodchuck could chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a
woochuck could chuck wood. Of course, there's considerable variation
in how much wood a woodchuck could chuck dependent on the woodchuck
in question and how expert he is a chucking wood.

Of course, even more important than raw wood chucking skill would be
inherent wood chucking ability - how many actions per turn they may
chuck wood etc. We must also ask if they have an Enchanted Bedsheet
with which to help them chuck the wood. :-)

A wood chuck would chuck as much wood as a wood chuck could chuck if a wood
chuck could chuck wood.

On a side note ever see the Saturday Night Live Episode where Robin Williams
played a mime and his roomate shot him then everyone was all congradulatory?
