Tongue twisters

Messaggioda Luca » 19/05/2013, 13:55

How many tongue twisters do you know? I dare you to repeat this one aloud:

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
As much wood as a woodchuck would, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.


or an easier one:

Today's the day that they die

:lol:

Three Swedish switched witches watch three Swiss Swatch watch switches. Which Swedish switched witch watch which Swiss Swatch watch switch?

...funny thread :-D
Not properly a tongue twister (let's remember that Erdős is to be pronounced with a final /-ø:ʃ/, as if it were written Erdösch in German, and English speakers have some difficulties with [ø], though), but I find this amusing:
A conjecture both deep and profound
is whether a circle is round.
But in a paper by Erdős,
written in Kurdish,
a counterexample is found.
