You Must Have Heard About This By Now

Chuck Norris is enjoying quite the renaissance these days. This article provides a succinct explanation as to why his name has been before the eyeballs of millions of computer users lately. Simply put, a wiseacre Brown freshman came up with what he calls The Random Chuck Norris Fact Generator. The sole purpose of this internet backwater is to ironically celebrate the stoic (some might say wooden) toughness of the only-slightly-legendary actor and martial artist.

The jokes seem lame at first, but they're pretty amusing once the cumulative effect of their absurdity breaks down your defenses. Here are some samples from the article linked above (because they are some of the clean ones, and because Norris himself purportedly likes them):

A few my own favorites:
