Question

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

[SeanKilleen]

New York state wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could (and does) chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equivalent to the weight of the dirt, or 700 pounds.

That’s a great answer @SeanKilleen and a good place to start. I wouldn’t go so far as to chuck those numbers out the window, but I also think we need to consider the individual wood chuck. Not all wood chucks could chuck wood at the same rate and there may be very good reasons why a wood chuck could chuck different amounts of wood.

I'm not a candidate, but do feel like it's important we understand this at a deeper level.

• Why would a woodchuck chuck wood?
• What can we do to empower more woodchucks to chuck wood?
• Is chucking wood the real problem here?
• Should woodchucks be doing something else - are they only chucking wood because that's what society expects of them?

@dotnet-foundation/candidates - what are your thoughts on this matter?

Given that we have some real questions now, I'm going to go ahead and close this. :)
