0922. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could Chuck Norris?

All of it.

Chuck Norris makes the wood chuck itself.

(Or is that Matt Ottinger?)

Of course, the last time I ended up being asked, I played on a team that included Anne Hathaway, so now my expectations are a bit higher.

Well, maybe the rest of you can let this one pass, but I\'m curious... *the* Anne Hathaway, star of stage and screen? Or someone with a similar name? (I assume we can rule out Budd Shakespeare\'s wife.)

Several folks have already heard the story on Facebook. Yes, \"the\" Anne Hathaway, and only about a month before she won her Oscar. A friend (who can raise his hand if he wants) invited me to play on his team, and another member of his team invited HER friends to join us too. To the surprise and delight of the entire squad (maybe eight other folks) they were Annie (her friends call her Annie) and Annie\'s new husband. Best thing about it is that not one of us made a fuss over her. Nobody asked for an autograph or a picture. We were all just hanging out together, drinking and answering trivia questions. Seems a little surreal now, but at the time...well, it was pretty surreal then too.

I didn\'t even catch the Anne Hathaway part. I always love reading or hearing about celebrities just being \"everyday people\", with no fuss or entitlement.

As for the ethics of knowing that answer, while browsing around this morning, I stumbled across Wheel\'s Facebook page (the show\'s, not fan-run). I also found a picture that acknowledges \"Shopper\'s Bazaar\" being the original title. The trivia host is not as smart as he thinks. It may not be common knowledge, but your trivia buffs in attendance are going to know arcane stuff like that.

I think this is the entire point of the story. The trivia host is in fact an idiot for thinking that setting up a honeypot (ANY honeypot) made any sense whatsoever.
