Thank You, Chuck Norris

The man himself has a reply regarding the site (or, rather, the “facts” on the site), available here. Since the URL looks like it might not be a permanent location, I’ll copy the text of the reply here:
IN RESPONSE TO THE “RANDOM FACTS” THAT ARE BEING GENERATED ON THE INTERNET
I’m aware of the made up declarations about me that have recently begun to appear on the Internet and in emails as “Chuck Norris facts.” I’ve seen some of them. Some are funny. Some are pretty far out. Being more a student of the Wild West than the wild world of the Internet, I’m not quite sure what to make of it. It’s quite surprising. I do know that boys will be boys, and I neither take offense nor take these things too seriously. Who knows, maybe these made up one-liners will prompt young people to seek out the real facts as found in my recent autobiographical book, “Against All Odds?” They may even be interested enough to check out my novels set in the Old West, “The Justice Riders,” released this month. I’m very proud of these literary efforts.
~ Chuck Norris
I’ll translate for the great Chuck:
I don’t know anything about this “internet”, but my publicist said that I need to ride that donkey and promote my books. Buy ‘em! Or Chuck Norris will give you a roundhouse kick to the face!
...and apparently chucknorrisfacts.com isn’t the original site. According to a Boing Boing update, the original site is http://www.4q.cc/chuck/, which gives you a random fact with each page load (and lets you rate them, too).
lol! Thanks Chris. Its good to start the work week with a laugh. I think 4 is my favorite, “The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.”
