But....
A woodchuck doesn't have opposable thumbs, so it can't chuck anything. Also,
the bulkiness of wood, given that it doesn't come in small pieces like dirt,
could prevent it being actively chucked. Rolled maybe, presuming woodchucks
have the mental capacity to problem-solve any obstacles...
So, a woodchuck could theoretically chuck 700 pounds of wood, if the wood
itself was in a chuckable form.
thus: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if wood were of a form that could
indeed be chucked by a woodchuck? (but that isn't as fun to say.)
