Nifty way of splicing an array - anybody know????

[BrightNail]

I have a need to take an array...lets say we have this..

var numtosplice = 2; // this is setable...

I want to group from array1 into array2 based on what 'numtosplice' is.

array1 = new Array ('what','hello','mary','john','peter','steve','tiger','funny')


and I want to take that array, and get this...

array2 = new Array(
['what','hello']
['mary','john']
['peter','steve']
['tiger','funny']
)

I know I can cycle thru array1 and set a counter and then do an inner loop.. but i am hoping there is a nifty and cooler way..

any ideas.. perhaps splice and pop????

Array.prototype.resplit=function(n){
	var A= this, A1= [],n=parseInt(n);
	if(!n) n=1; 
	while(A.length) A1.push(A.splice(0,n)) 
	return A1;
}
