*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?

I like your answer... very logical...

I'm not sure but I think contrails are caused by (drumroll).... AIRPLANES!

Am I right???

Yes, but....

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

Man... all this talk of chuckin' wood and wood that chucks is giving me a headache. But I must say that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, then it would only chuck wood if it wanted to. If a woodchuck didn't want to chuck wood, no wood would be chucked.... it's just that simple!

whew...

Imladris · 04-30-2002, 01:31 PM

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).

BeardofPants · 04-30-2002, 02:42 PM

The Mystery of Edwin Drood?

Imladris · 05-01-2002, 03:13 AM

Correct!!!

BeardofPants · 05-01-2002, 03:17 AM

Okay... my question:

What direction would you be looking at on a tooth, if it was the lingual view?

Blackheart · 05-01-2002, 04:08 AM

Toungesssssssssss

BeardofPants · 05-01-2002, 04:11 AM

Correct, Mr. Smarty Pants.

Blackheart · 05-01-2002, 04:34 AM

Hmmm. What are the four orders of.. oh general knowledge.. hmm.

Alright... What is the origin of the name of the city of Cornwall?

***azalea*** · 05-01-2002, 08:54 AM

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?

Blackheart · 05-01-2002, 11:12 AM

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?

GandalfTheWhite · 05-01-2002, 12:44 PM

from general cornwallis?

***azalea*** · 05-01-2002, 01:58 PM

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

Blackheart · 05-01-2002, 02:27 PM

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).

Imladris · 05-01-2002, 02:32 PM

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.

Blackheart · 05-01-2002, 02:39 PM

Your getting warmer, now go look at the phonecian trade routes...

*Wonders if he should just give out the answer*

Blackheart · 05-02-2002, 11:19 AM

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"

Radagast · 05-02-2002, 01:18 PM

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.
