Product Description: The lowdown on the toughest, sexiest, and beardiest man to ever stalk the earth
Since its emergence from the bowels of the internet, the Chuck Norris Fact has roundhouse kicked its way into the worlds consciousness with all the vim and verve of its namesake. Singing the praises of his unequaled toughness, his mighty kicking feet, his indestructible beard, his frightening virility, and his ability to stop time by thinking about pineapples, The Truth About Chuck Norris is the one book brave enough to go behind the beard and reveal the real Chuck.
Ian Spector, webmaster of the site which started the meme and survivor of a real-life encounter with Chuck himself, has selected the 400 most kick-ass facts from his library of thousands, as well as illustrations as awesome as the man himself. This death-defying volume includes such awe-inspiring observations as:
A cobra once bit Chuck Norriss leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.
Chuck Norris can charge a cell phone by rubbing it against his beard.
When an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger aired in France, the French surrendered to Chuck Norris just to be on the safe side.
Chuck Norris was the first person to tame a dinosaur.
Chuck Norris once visited The Virgin Islands. Afterward, they were renamed The Islands.
Every piece of furniture in Chuck Norriss house is a Total Gym.
A must-have paean to the archetypical American male and a bible of all things Chuck, The Truth About Chuck Norris is easily the most important book of all time.

My "happy place" book
This is the book i read when I have to go to my "happy place". If you're into silly, outrageous humor, this book is for you. I love this book, and I love Chuck Norris. How awesome is it that something like these jokes has hit the mainstream!!! I recommended it--2 thumbs and a roundhouse kick up!

A Roundhouse Kick to the Funny Bone
Chuck Norris facts have become a part of American culture and have an especially large following among high school and college students. Chuck Norris facts began as jokes tossed back and forth between people. However, the popularity of Chuck Norris facts skyrocketed when Ian Spector's fact generating website became THE site for Chuck Norris Facts. THE TRUTH ABOUT CHUCK NORRIS is a collection of some of the most popular facts from chucknorrisfacts.com. The book also includes a preface from creator Ian Spector about how the website began, his interactions with the real Chuck Norris, the lawsuit that was filed as a result of the books publication, etc.
Some of my favorite facts from the book include the following:
"Chuck Norris once shot a German plane down with his finger by pointing at it and yelling BANG!"
"Chuck Norris's poop is used as currency in Argentina."
"Rainbows are what happens when Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks Richard Simmons."
"Freddy Krueger has nightmares about Chuck Norris."
"The Bible says Samson killed 15,000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. When God asked Chuck Norris what he thought about that, he said, `That's one way to do it,' God laughed at Chuck's wisdom, and said, `I knew you were going to say that."
"Chuck Norris once ordered a Big Mac at Burger King and got one."
"Chuck Norris once squeezed an M&M so hard that it turned into a Skittle."
There are some more vulgar, blue-colored facts in the book as well, so readers should be forewarned. But most people who are interested in the book probably don't care about that. A great gift for fans of Chuck Norris, Conan O'Brien, and anyone who has a good sense of humor.

Good but has many recycled Bill Braskyisms
I caught onto the whole Chuck Norris Fact bandwagon a little bit late...or so I thought. It wasn't until this all started that I realized many of these facts were rehashed from the classic recurring Saturday Night Live skit "Bill Brasky". I like Chuck Norris but the facts in this book can never hold a candle to the facts of Bill Brasky.

Just Awesome
The wife hates it. I love it. Go figure. Great little cart filler for free shipping. It now sits on my coffee table (mocking my wife) and is a great conversation starter.
