How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Here’s my answer from April 2017: According to the Poetry Foundation, a woodchuck would chuck “As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood.” (bit.ly/woodchuck-poem) Researchers at Cornell determined that a woodchuck could chuck about 700 pounds: (bit.ly/cornell-woodchucks). “Compared to beavers, groundhogs/woodchucks are not adept at moving timber, although some will chew wood. A wildlife biologist once measured the inside volume of a typical woodchuck burrow and estimated that — if wood filled the hole instead of dirt — the industrious animal would have chucked about 700 pounds’ worth.” Additionally, though, how much wood could a wood duck duck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
What are the spikes for on O’Neill outside the 4th floor windows?
They’re dissuading feathered friends from landing on the window ledges & using them as a bird bathroom.
People around always make me laugh.
It’s really a great thing that you get so much joy from your fellow students, but I can see how this could become a problem. Can you explain the situation to your study friends, and ask them to help you out with a more serious environment… just while you’re studying? Afterwards, they can revert to being their hysterically funny selves.
Wow, 1.405 x 10^51 is a big #. I do think 42 is the answer to the question of life, the universe, & everything
It’s not THAT big; why, 1.405 x 10^52 is TEN TIMES bigger! But Douglas Adams was, of course, correct.
prove by induction that…
I could answer this, but I’m concerned that maybe you can’t, and you need to be able to. How about getting some friendly peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors)?
Who are you?
Even The Who couldn’t answer that question, and you think I can? bit.ly/whoareyouwhowho. No, but seriously, I contain multitudes. Of library staff.

I might not know every language in the world, but my helpers and I know many, including Tagalog. (Let’s test the Tagalog, the wall might understand. Did I pass your test?)
How do you feel about Notre Dame?
Sad for the one in Paris. Collegial toward the one in Indiana–have some good wall friends there.
How can I get a 180 on the LSAT?
Study study study. And honestly a bit of luck. Many of the Wall’s law school friends say that the PowerScore series of LSAT prep books are the best. Unfortunately we don’t have them here and can’t seem to get them via ILL (we tried). I also want to note that standardized test scores tend to be used more as filters in adminssions rather than reasons to accept an applicant. Which is to say that anything over 170 will probably get your application looked at by all of the top law schools. You have to sell yourself as an applicant from there (GPA, extracurriculars, other “soft factors”). Good luck!
Can I get boyfriend?

It looks like you have your answer! Sort of. Now the trick is to find out who that is & whether it’s someone you’d like to be your boyfriend. I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor. If this particular option doesn’t work, I’m sure there will be others. The key is to be your genuine self.
Who’s the best looking person in BC?
Lookin’ at ’em right now!
Is withdrawing from a class wrong?
It’s not wrong, but it’s definitely something you’ll want to talk to your academic advisor about. If you withdraw now the course will be marked with a W on your transcript. And you should also check that your financial aid isn’t affected by the number of credits you’re registered for. http://bit.ly/bc-withdraw
Chezbörgar or reg borgar?
Chez. So gooey. So creamy. Yum.

Can you send mail out in the mailroom
Do you mean the mailroom on the 2nd floor of O’Neill? Unfortunately, that’s limited only to official deliveries to and from the Library. There is a mailroom in McElroy that anyone is allowed to send mail and packages out of (http://bit.ly/BCMailRoom).
Bu hao (not good)
🙁 Sorry you’re feeling that way! I believe in you!
Is water wet?
I get this question a lot; it must matter a great deal to you flesh and blood sorts! As I’ve said before, wetness is a perception, not an objective fact, and perceptual clues for wetness are actually not so straightforward, as you can see in this physiology article: bit.ly/wetness-perception.
My roommate is easy to be annoyed…
🙁 I’m really sorry to hear that. People can be very mean. If the situation is really as bad as it seems, I might recommend avoiding this person or looking into a room transfer. Perhaps reach out to your RA or Residential Life directly (bit.ly/res-life). Unfortunately, there are many not-nice people in the world.
How 2 get over AN EX I see on campus everywhere.
Time will take care of the healing, but that doesn’t help you right now. In the immediate term, if you see your ex all over the place, perhaps try to vary your routes and normal hangouts to avoid them. Pick up new hobbies or clubs to keep your mind occupied. You’ll meet new people through these and find yourself thinking about your ex less and less. If they’re in your classes, all I can recommend is changing up your seat to sit far away from them. I believe in you!
