Default "The Truth about Chuck Norris"

I thought some might get a kick out of this given how often those Chuck Norris lines get chucked around here. Norris is apparently unhappy with the Penguin Group over the book, "The Truth about Chuck Norris." He's suing them for trademark infringement and privacy rights. Also, he is concerned that people may take some of these 'truths' as fact.

CBC story

Quote:
The book uses "mythical facts" that have been circulating on the internet since 2005 that poke fun at Norris' tough-guy image and super-human abilities, the suit said. It also says the book's title would mislead readers into thinking the facts were true.
Some of those myths listed, according to court documents: Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer, he can charge a cell phone by rubbing it against his beard and "Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits."

Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares at them and dares the knowledge NOT to jump into his head.

I've hated Chuck Norris since the first time I encountered Barrens chat in World of Warcraft...

LOL. No kidding, I hated that. I would always switch it to the battle tab in Barrens.

*heavy sigh* how long until we get a "The Truth about Dion" book? He is the one that does these sort of magical things...

The truth about Chuck Norris is that if you spread lies about the truth about Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris will fataing kill you!
