He's called Waldo here in N. America. He's hiding and using a pseudonym, , I'm guessing the CIA are looking for him too.

Q17) 10 has beens elsewhere, but only 2 if you're Australian.
And why was Wally banned from so many countries and school libraries? Because in many of the pictures there are slightly naughty things to be found: like in the beach picture where there is a topless sunbather, although my youngest child tells me it was really very tame stuff. Which has me worried...tame compared to what, I wonder?

#17 : You people are concentrating on the wrong part of the question. Its the 'five' part that's interesting. Five is either 3 + 2, or 2 + 3, as is taught in conducting class. Choir singers however, always try to round up to 6 or down to 4, by inserting a 1 beat rest, or hurrying over a pair of notes. Having them listen to Take Five [/URL] does no good what-so-ever.

A 18) If a woodchuck could chuck Wood, presumably the woodchuck would chuck all of him (unless bits of him - his arms, and legs, or other unmentionables, were to drop off while he was being chucked. As I believe Wood is rather attached to his extremeties, I think on balance that is extremely unlikely).
While pondering this deep and meaningful question, you may like to visit this site which doesn't realise we are talking about a shipmate called Wood and thinks we are talking about this sort of wood!

A17) 5 beans is the number of beans that United are behind (this makes me happy!, the 8 beans we need don't, but I'm sure Mr Abramovich could afford a tin or two!)
A18) I've dealt with that much at work, coz the wee ones all have stomach flu, I'd really rather not talk about up-chuck anymore.

Question 18) How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
These darn critters are trouble enough without encouraging them to chuck wood around.
So I hope the answer would be none... but I expect it would probably be ..." too much". here

18)How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? None. I don't believe a woodchuck would chuck wood at all, as it involves too much heavy lifting. As I recall, they would rather chuck marshmallows into their wide-opened mouths. This is based on sad experience, I tell you. Greedy little varmints. Whoever heard of marshmallowless s'mores? Well, bucko, that's what you get when the woodchuck helps himself to the marshmallow bag.
There were tears, I tell you.

The wood he did chuck, he should not have; and the wood he could not chuck, he did not; and the wood he left unchucked he surely should have chucked; yea, the woodchuck builded him a dam with a quantity of chucked wood, many cubits tall and deep, the number of chucked woods unknown except to the Almighty, who keepeth track of such things.

19) I've been told by people who seem to know, that I seem to have not grown out of the "indestructible" phase of teen-agedness. What seems to me to be a normal, well-considered course (walking on the railroad trestle about 150 feet in the air, without checking on the rail schedule) apparently was seen to be daring to reasonable folks. So, I dare because of ignorance and folly.
