#0, Random Query: DCF 6.2.1, and thus MegaThread prevention...
Posted by Luc on Dec-07-01 at 04:28 AM
When's DCF V 6.2.1 going up?

And when is "Reply in New Thread" going to be an option?

And how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?

Thanks

You owe the Oracle a t-shirt with a horizontal lightning-bolt symbol on it.

The correct form of the question is:
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

And the answer is:
As much wood as a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I'm sorry, Sean, that's incorrect. The correct answer is:
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Actually both a technically correct since it depends on the woodchuck.

I'm afraid it does. Now, Eliot, you'll have to die.

You know, Pangaro, I know our AUP is a bit vague and all, but somehow I don't think .sig files ought to contain death threats. It just doesn't strike me as appropriate somehow.

I'll remove it, but it's the way I introduce myself in real life.

Actually, from what I learned, it's "A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood," and you both seem to have shortened forms of it...

Eliot's version breaks up the rhythm of the tongue-twister; my version simply truncates by way of dropping off the first four words, since it's a reply to the question, making those words unnecessary in anything but the most formal speech.

Not the way I say it. The whole point is to say "all the wood he could chuck" extremely quickly - it comes out more like, "A woodchuck would chuck allthewoodhecouldchuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood." Which makes it a lot harder to say, thereby increasing the tongue-twisteriness of it.
