      A wood chuck wouldn’t chuck any amount of wood because a wood chuck can’t chuck wood.

      Well it depends on Wood chuck that Wood chuck could chuck the wood or could not chuck the wood!

      But definitely It cudn’t chuck the wood as it do not chucks the wood!!!

      Well, to find out we’d have to design an experiment, firstly to see if a woodchuck really can chuck wood and then to quantify the amount of wood that a woodchuck could indeed chuck. Would you like to know how much wood can be chucked in 1 hour? per day? per lifetime of a woodchuck?
      However, this would be close to experimenting with animals so we’d need ethics clearance.
