OK, at the risk of some of you laughing; I still don't see why asking how long an 8 foot 2X4 is makes it a stupid question.
After all, a 2X4 isn't 2 inches by 4 inches, right? If 2 of the 3 dimensions are known to be not accurate; or more correctly they were accurate at one point then the board got machined down, then why not ask the question about the length?
Of course, many of us might have worded the question a little differently. I might have asked if the 8 foot boards were indeed exactly 8 feet long, and not reduced in size at the mill.
