Is there anyone out there who isn't aware of the Internet phenomenon known as the "Chuck Norris Facts"?

In a nutshell, the "facts" are nuggets of wisdom concerning the martial arts champion and former Walker, Texas Ranger star. In all cases, they're fabricated statements made to illustrate Norris' toughness and take-no-prisoners demeanor. Reportedly, Norris himself is a fan of these "facts," and why not? Not only do they bulk up his reputation as the ultimate bad-ass, but they're also funny. Very, very funny.
