    Chuck Norris: Badass

    Unless you have a life, you're probably aware of the uber-awesome website Chuck Norris Facts, a bizarrely funny site dedicated to the cheesy action God Chuck Norris who, unexpectedly, has gone from an 80's tough guy joke to a minor web-celebrity, due in no small part to the site.  Back when I was a wee lad, I remember seeing an ad for Braddock: Missing in Action 3 and thinking, even with my teenage nerd brain, "This looks lame."  Who knew?  I don't think anyone can explain his surge in popularity recently, one of those mysteries that no one will ever answer, like, why was Family Matters on air for so long, and who gave Chuck Norris his own comic book?  All I know is, any guy with his own Apple widget is pretty hard to poke fun at.  And let's not forget - he's one of the only people to have gone toe-to-toe with Bruce Lee and not get his ass totally whipped... at least not until Bruce ripped out a chunk of Norris' chest hair at the 3-minute mark, complete with goofy 70's 'boing!' drum sound effect.  Ouch... that would probably hurt more than a kick to the face by Lee.
