Questions from fadethecat. Leave a comment, and I'll ask you questions too!

1) How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood and had a chainsaw and trebuchet available?

200ft³ per hour. He can triple this with a well-trained 4-chuck crew.

2) If any of your characters could meet any of mine... who would you like to see meet, and what do you think would happen?

I would like to see Strange meet Cory Whitely. And I really have no idea what would happen, but I think it'd be funny to watch his reaction to her.

3) Best music for a poingy mood?

Hm. Probably T.M. Revolution.

4) What author should I be reading who I'm not yet?

Well, I don't know who you're reading, so I'll toss out China Miéville and see if he sticks.

5) In the end, there can be only one: parrots or monkeys?

Monkeys. Parrots have flight, but nothing can stop the monkeys' steam-powered bananabots.

The figure given is an average, but it does depend on the temperament of the woodchuck. A softwood woodchuck chucking hardwood would chuck less because of the higher weight, but it wouldn't mind; a hardwood woodchuck chucking softwood would chuck less because it would feel compelled to account for the discrepancy in density and would thus waste chucking time at the drawing board.

(Despite persistent rumors to the contrary, woodchucks of any sort have not yet figured out the personal computer, although certain hardwood woodchucks have become quite handy with a graphing calculator.)

Do you not hear that?!
That is the sound of my brain shattering.
