This pretty close to the best answer I came up with. BUT. Woodchucks are rodents, not monkey-ancestor brachiators like us. So their shoulder and arm assembly is geared to grip & gather, not swing and bear weight. So the 'calculated' answer I came up with was 35grams. Given the moment arm and leverage etc. Plus claws get in the way - woodchucks don't have fingers/thumb for gripping like us. No doubt this question will continue to bother me.

Might be interesting to check your step counter/watch/whatever in case it reset itself to zero at midday. My boss has a watch thingy that counts his steps and one day he was morally certain he'd done 'enough' only to find that only the steps from midday onward had been counted. Something to do with a 12 hour clock not a 24 hour one. The watch turned out not to be faulty, he'd just set it up on the wrong timing. Worth checking imo. And happy birfday!

Bucketing down here in Thornbury. And the wind has changed to the south. Obviously watering the garden this afternoon worked ...

It's just nuts.

Same as RustyRaven but with pistachio on top please.

45/50 Yayy!

Joni Mitchell took 40 plus years to find out the same thing. She'd been singing falsetto all her life up till then.

Ceramics class? Pottery certainly qualifies as earth bending.

Stove? If so, I agree. I've been very favourably impressed with my little induction one plate from Temple & Webster. So useful. Even has a porridge button which I thought very unusual when I got it but does just wonderful rice. The quick boil button is fair frightening how fast it is - at least as fast as a kettle.

Friday quiz

7/10 could do better

Is that what they meant by 'stealin' watermelons outta my truck patch'?

a classic

Bought quiche heated in microwave present and correct.

4 calling birds, 3 french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Omit the pear tree if you wish as there's one on the street corner that I can re-purpose and it could be difficult to carry along with your own purchases.

hard quiz

50/50!!!!!!! yay me as some were guesses

Thanks! That'll set me up for the day.

Morning chef! Stack of pancakes with butter & maple syrup and coffee please.

70s was Stalactites. Never closed. Or the Italian Waiters Club.

Gurl, back in the late 60s we used to trade these numbers like they were pokemons. Then the problem became how to find a library that was willing to admit that they stocked them. I kinda miss the old days of the card files in drawers. You never knew what you could find in them there drawers.

You mean, you were all Dewey eyed? Oooh, sexy!

EDIT: Hit me with your 306.775, or crank it up a notch with 800.803538 for maximum effect ...

Now we know it's really Friday
