10/23   Chuck Norris on Chuck Norris jokes
        http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52567
        \_ This says to me: Chuck Norris can do everything but take a joke.
        \_ Wow, thanks.  I've just lost all respect for Norris.
           "...the real cause of all diseases - sin"  Fucking dumbass.
           This bolsters my absurd predjudice that grapplers are smarter than
           strikers.
        \_ I love the cognitive dissonance between "the Bible tells me I really
           can do all things" and the very next question where he says only
           Jesus can do XYZ.
           \_ What do you expect?  He is anti-evolution.  (See a few lines up.)
           \_ How is it cognitive dissonance to say "Jesus can do all
              things, even allow me to do all things [he wants me to do]?"
              (Which is what they really mean when they say that.)
              \_ Did you miss the word "only" above?
           \_ There is no contradiction here.  You missed the logic.
                 \_ Chuck doesn't use the word "only" there in his article.
           \_ There is no contradiction here.  You missed what he's really
              trying to imply.
              1: Chuck Norris really can do all things.
              2: Only Jesus can do XYZ.
              1 & 2 implies: Chuck Norris is Jesus.
              1 & 2 imply: Chuck Norris is Jesus.
              Of couse Chunk Norris said in the article he is not Jesus.  But
              there is still no contradiction.  That's because Chunk Norris
              really can do all things, include denial of being Jesus.
              there is still no contradiction.  That's because from (1), Chunk
              Norris really can do all things, including denying being Jesus.
              \_ Can Chuck Norris make a burrito so big even he can't eat it?
        \_ Then again, there was a banner ad for http://www.nukalert.com
           right under that.  Coincidence?  I THINK NOT.  -John
        \_ Manliness--

4/2     Guys singing about tech. Are they GHEY?
        http://www.richterscales.com
        \_ they're certainly not funny.
           \_ they're funny to people in the dot-com businesses. Kind of
              like how Jewish people always make Jewish jokes.
              \_ there are plenty of unfunny Jewish jokes.

3/30    a girl i went to a party with on saturday got really drunk
        and whispered to me 'I REALLY LIKE SEX'.  I ignored her
        because my hemorrhoid was angry.  What should I have done?
        \_ Your hemorrhoid (sp?) saved you from a moral fault.  It's
           unethical to have sex with a person who's incapable of
           consent.  However, now you know she likes sex.  So,

WND Exclusive Commentary On Chuck Norris 'mania' sweeping the Net Posted: October 23, 2006 1:00 am Eastern Have you heard of the "Chuck Norris Facts"? There are more than 50,000 jokes making their way around the Internet that purport to be "facts" all playing off my movie roles as a "tough guy" and my history as a martial arts champion. But they aren't "jokes" to those who spread them - they're "facts." Here are a few of my favorites: * "When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris." He stares them down until he gets the information he wants." These "facts" have become a phenomenon - a fad spread mainly by young people of high school and college age. It's hard to explain why these things happen - how they take on a life of their own. I do know that boys will be boys, and I neither take offense nor take these things too seriously. Who knows, maybe these one liners will prompt some one to seek out the real facts about me and the beliefs that have shaped my life and my career. While I have as much fun as anyone else reading and quoting them, let's face it, most "Chuck Norris Facts" describe someone with supernatural, superhuman powers. And in the history of this planet, there has only been one real Superman. Let me illustrate using a few of the claims being made about me in the various lists of "Chuck Norris Facts": Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "Faster than a speeding bullet ... yes, these are some of Chuck Norris' warm-up exercises." As six-time world karate champion and then a movie star, I put too much trust in who I was, what I could do and what I acquired. If your whole life is spent trying to make money and you neglect the people important in your life, you will create an emptiness deep in your heart and soul. I had a huge hole in my heart and was miserable until I met my wife, Gena, who brought me back to the Lord. Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live." But here's what I really think about the theory of evolution: It's not real. In fact, the life you see on this planet is really just a list of creatures God has allowed to live. We were made in His image, which separates us from all other creatures. But with Him, the Bible tells me, I really can do all things - and so can you. Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer. There was a man whose tears could cure cancer or any other disease, including the real cause of all diseases - sin. If your soul needs healing, the prescription you need is not Chuck Norris' tears, it's Jesus' blood. Again, I'm flattered and amazed by the way I've become a fascinating public figure for a whole new generation of young people around the world. And even the toughest characters I have played could never measure up to the real power in this universe. Contribute your favorite Chuck Norris Laughlines in the newest WND Forum - beginning today. Chuck Norris is the star of more than 20 films and the long-running TV series "Walker, Texas Ranger." His book, "Against All Odds," tells the inspirational story of how he overcame abject poverty from childhood, the effects of his father's alcoholism and desertion of the family, and his own shyness and lack of strength and ability early in his life.
