A. Considering that woodchucks were invented by Chuck Norris and given his name, it shouldn't be surprising that they can actually chuck and astronomical amount wood in a very short period of time. The true rate of their chucking ability is impossible to calculate unfortunately, because Chuck Norris has placed restrictions on studying this magical creatures.
Q. Why is the last day of the work week called Friday and not Tuesday?
A. Friday is the end of the work week because it is only legal to consume fries after work has been concluded. Tuesday is named such because it is day "two" of the work work week. Other days of the week include: Monday, when everyone is supposed to speak in a Jamaican accent; Wednesday, when people are supposed to get married; Thursday, originally called "Herday" but women took that meaning literally and forced their husbands to do everything they wanted that day so it had to be changed; Saturday, the day you're supposed to sit; and Sunday, the day you are required by law to consume a frozen treat. It all makes perfect sense really.
If you want to accept the boring, more widely accepted reasons for the days of the week, here they are, briefly:
Sunday: Sun's Day
Monday: Moon's Day
Tuesday: Tiw's Day, Tiw was a Norse god of combat and pledges.
Wednesday: Wodan's Day, i.e. "Odin", prominent god of Norse mythology
Thursday: Thor's Day, Thor the Norse god of thunder
Friday: Frige's Day, Norse name for the goddess associated with love and beauty (like Venus)
Saturday: Saturn's Day, Roman patriarchal god
All of the days of the week come from Old English, except for Saturday which is of latin origin.
Q. Why?
A. Because we ran out of ABC's. :P
Q. Babies... where do they come from?
A. This one is much easier to answer with a picture:
Well, that's all I got folks! Thanks for the questions and be sure to ask me more next week! It seems they get more challenging every time!
