[Woodchuck]

I don't reckon ain't nobody tried to figure the amount, but iffin they did, 15 might be damn close.

'Course us poor, simple woodchucks can't count to 15, but ya'll doctorin' types got it right figured out, don'cha?

[Sloddikus]

A woodchuck would chuck the weight of 37 chickens before realizing there is no point in it.

Divide by zero to get your answer.

A-hem.

The amount of wood that woodchucks would chuck on a given day varies greatly with the individual woodchuck. According to a Wall Street Journal article, New York State wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could 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 equal to 700 pounds.
Some say it depends on three factors:

* The woodchuck's desire to chuck said wood.

* The woodchuck's need to chuck the aforementioned wood.

* The woodchuck's ability to chuck the wood when it is a woodchuck

Please, please. Hold your applause.
I'm sure Woodchuck agrees, iffin he understood.

Well shoot, lil' missy. I can't understand none o' them fancy schmancy words. They look pretty darn scientifical, though, so I guess I can take yer word fer it.

If you ask me, the actual amount of chuckable wood is approximately 274. The Wall Street Journal can kiss my bum

So I guess 700 pounds is 15 arbitrary units of wood?

The reference measurement is typically defined by the local laboratories or dependent on individual measurement apparatus. It is therefore impossible to compare "1 arb. unit" by one measurer and "1000 arb. unit" by another measurer without detailed prior knowledge on how the respective "arbitrary units" were defined; thus, the unit is sometimes called an unknown unit.

So I guess 1 arb. unit = approximately 46.7 pounds.
