How much wood indeed?!

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck (if a woodchuck could chuck wood)? [3572A]

[written in answer space: as much wood as a woodchuck could (if a woodchuck could chuck wood).

Absolutely none. An average maul weighs eight pounds. Even with a woodchuck’s seasonal weight fluctuation, do you think an animal that weighs maybe ten pounds itself (and that’s at its chubby autumn weight) without opposable thumbs (for goodness sakes!) could hoist an eight pound maul over its head and bring it down with enough force to split a log? That’s just silly!
