*sigh* I guess it's up to me...
If a woodchuck could chuck wood, a woodchuck would chuck just as much wood as a woodchuck should chuck. (They are like wizards in that way! ) What causes contrails?

Even if woodchucks could chuck wood, should those woodchucks chuck wood?

Come on, I guess it's up to me.
Wat was Charles Dickens' last novel, regardless of whether he finished it or not?(big hint there).

Okay... my question:
What direction would you be looking at on a tooth, if it was the lingual view?

Okay, this is just a huge stab in the dark (yikes, what an idiom):
Did it come from the people using the horns of animals to fortify the city walls? |

Errrr Nope.
Though that's a good guess. Oh and I mean the ultimate origin. How long has Cornwall been known as Cornwall? And where does the name come from?

I don't think so, Cornwall is one setting in the Arthurian legend, if I remember.

Earlier even, than Poor Arthur. Try Pre-Roman. Keep looking!
I'll even give another hint. It's got something to do with a local natural resource found in abundance (in ancient times anyway).

It has ana abundance of corn? No, er... something to do with tin, tough I don't see where tin comes into it. No, wait it comes from the French town of Cornouailles in Brittany? Good old etymological ditionary.

OK, here's another hint
http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saintj36.htm http://homepages.tesco.net/~k.wasley/Tinmines.htm Say rather that the french town probably has a similar root. And another good hint: Cornwall, England, has produced large amounts of tin ore in the past. Tin was a rare metal in the East, and had to be brought from the misty Cassiterides by sailors from Atlantic shores. And one last hint "Kernew"

Hmm I know that "Kernow" was a valuable site of tin ore and in Arthurian times miners could use any fire they wanted to get their valuable tin...just thought I'd bring that up.
