That would be Bruce Schneier not Chuck.
Chuck has another Fist under his beard.

Here are the Chuck Norris Facts: http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/

And here are the Bruce Schneier Facts: http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/

Please dont get confused people!

If Chuck Norris tried to break Bruce Schneier's security, what would happen?

PS - The Klingons didn't have a word for surrender...until they met Kirk

This sounds awfully like:

The Klingons didn't have a word for surrender...until they met Chuck Norris *gaah*

Pay no attention; this whole thread has degenerated into the Barrens general chat channel.

All we need is a rousing round of Chuck Norris facts to make it complete.

There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.

i have norton, problem solved.

Norton? Bah, I have Chuck Norris. If a rootkit tried to to invade my system, Chuck Norris would roundhouse kick it into that great digital black hole.

I made a personal donation of $10,000 to wikipedia only to have my personal wikipedia entry removed shortly afterward!

Not that it was a bad thing to remove the entry.. it did say I was a fashion designer that lived in Ohio or some such nonsense. I just wish I would have known that Jimmy could have rewritten my page to say that Chuck Norris was my Protege.

Somebody needs to go in there and get him.

If we can publicly wage war on whomever we want, certainly we can send somebody in there secretly to kick some ass and save the man.

Of course that's assuming we really are all about liberating the oppressed and ensuring freedoms for all.

If I had a bionic arm, it would only have one grip: Crush.

That's what the "chuck grip" is - Chuck Norris.

Remember, Chuck Norris' hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.

None of this auction crap. Just let the corporations and the FCC pick their most athletic (least nerdy?) employees, and pit them against each other on the Eliminator(tm)

The original Chuck Norris facts site was at http://4q.cc/index.php?pid=top100&person=chuck Note that they also have the Vin Diesel facts, which as documented in the
Wikipedia page on Chuck Norris Facts were done before the ones about Chuck. You can also see in the Wayback Machine that the 4q.cc site had their original Chuck facts as of November 5, 2005, and my mail archive says I was forwarding that site to my friends by December 8th.

The http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/ site was registered on December 20, 2005, weeks after this had already become a popular Internet meme. Their site is pretty clearly linked with chucknorris.com - in addition to the shared registration info, there's a link right on the facts site to the main one.

So while it seems true Chuck or someone related to him in a business capacity registered the chucknorrisfacts.com domain to cash in on the popularity of the meme, and it's fair to say someone here is cash hungry, that didn't happen until some time after the original site has already become hugely popular. Saying Chuck made the whole thing up for self-promotion is off base. Now that you've insulted Chuck's manhood, I hope this information helps clarify what you've done wrong during your final few moments on Earth.

Forgot to select "plain text". Here's the above post, properly formatted.

Here's a quote from 2005, from Chuck's own website on the "Chuck Norris Facts" phenomenon:

"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."

Here is Chuck reading a top ten list of the quotes, cracking up as he does so on "The Best Damn Sports Show Ever":

Maddox had an entire chapter in his book "The Alphabet of Manliness" dedicated to Chuck Norris related humor. Yet no lawsuit then.

The site that created the phenomenon, http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/ has been selling shirts with his face on them for years, no lawsuit.

I'm sorry, but this is a dick move, plain and simple. Chuck Norris has repeatedly and publicly stated he found the jokes funny. Now, when he's finding out that the fanbase who resurrected his career is mostly college age liberals and are none too thrilled with his endorsement of Huckabee, what does he do to line his pockets? Sue one of the people who brought his name back into the spotlight. If it wasn't for Chuck Norris facts, his pockets wouldn't be lined with Huckabee's money anyways.

He did not create Chuck Norris Facts. They are parody, not defamation, and just because they're discussing him, doesn't give him any real say in the copyright. More importantly, one of the claims is just ludicrous:

""Some of the 'facts' in the book are racist, lewd or portray Mr. Norris as engaged in illegal activities," the lawsuit alleges."

So then why the hell does he have a website hosting them?

In a fight between Batman and Darth Vader, the winner would be Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris is the law. Everywhere.

Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

SM

is that you Chuck?

I hear Vin Diesel actually does produce about 5MW when sitting perfectly still.

When he grows up, that baby might be the one who'll finally be able to take on Chuck Norris.

Professor Chuck Norris

Obviously, Russia is becoming a Chucktatorship.

Chuck Norris facts

No you don't, it's Chuck Norris that kills people

video and text

Argh, how ye do yerz ninja's talk?

...I'd imagine something like CHUCK NORRIS!!!

Considering all his accomplishments.

Sorry, I am afraid that every good slashdotter knows that guns don't kill people.. Chuck Norris does.

The Yakuza are respectful. On an episode of The Simpsons when one of them accidently came flying through a window, he bowed before heading back out to rejoin the gang fight. He could have just killed everyone in site, like ninja's sometimes do, but no. He took the time to show the respect and bow. The're sweeties! [sic]

If Chuck Norris had been thrown through a window, just bowing would have killed everyone in the room!

Since we're on the subject of light...Chuck Norris invented black. In fact, he invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink.

Anyways, sounds like you better get a humor transplant and head over to http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/index.html before Chuck sees your comments here and eats your entire family.

When Chuck Norris logs on, he doesn't use a password. He just stares at the terminal until it pees the carpet and lets him on.

The moon revolving around our planet Earth didn't have an atmosphere until Chuck Norris decided to check out the moon landing zone for himself. Once he got there he started smoking cigars non-stop for 3 days. (As to how he can smoke on the moon in the first place, well he's Chuck Norris) Soon enough a very dense cloud of tobacco smoke enveloped the moon. This obligatory Chuck Norris true story brought to you by Chuck Norris smokes you.

/.ers will know that only the mighty foot of Chuck Norris is powerful enough to kick back such a massive DDoS attack. There is a problem though: since there is only 1 of him, Chuck can't defend more than one site at a time. And ofcourse his ourly rates are a bit steep, too.

Check this out.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to spend a few grand and pay Bruce Willis to kill Gates and Ballmer?

If they really want to get the job done right they better call in Chuck Norris. Darl needs a good round house to the face!

Guns don't kill people, Dick Cheney kills people.

Two spruced up cliches for the price of one!

I've heard he's just going to have Chuck Norris deliver it to his cortex with a precision roundhouse kick.

No one is as brave as Chuck Norris.

You have much to learn.

The device is the size of a golf ball, can be launched via an air-powered shooter

Hhhmmm. The only person safe from this device: Tiger Woods!.

...well, and Chuck Norris, but that goes without saying.

I love how slashdot goes from Bill Gates' taxes, to Chuck Norris, to cures for cancer.

http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/

http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/ has been floating round in an email.

Oh yeah, well Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer

Is he better than Chuck Norris though?

Clearly, most of this orbital debris comes from Chuck Norris roundhouse kicking people into space.

Its only a matter of time before Google hires Chuck Norris to simply roundhouse kick all of their enemies.

Ehh, Chow Yun Fat is much, much cooler. (I can't believe he didn't get mentioned The Ultimate Showdown).

Google has been showing a very large ammount of testicular fortitude lately. First Google says no to US government's request for logs of searches and now they told Bell South to stick it.

Its only a matter of time before Google hires Chuck Norris to simply roundhouse kick all of their enemies.

Well, except when it's Chuck Norris.

No way dude... that's totally Chuck Norris.
