Chuck Norris

One of the more popular things around here are the “Chuck Norris facts”. Little tidbits of wisdom like “Chuck Norris counted to infinity—twice!” or “Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer—too bad he has never cried!”Maybe it is a guy thing, but I think they are great. You will over hear these facts while you are waiting in line to eat, written on a wall, or on a sign on someone’s desk. I’ve even been known to slip one into a brief from time to time.

I just finished reading the Da Vinci code. Not a very good book—not because of the religious aspects, but because the author is a mediocre writer that wrote about a treasure hunt that only a pencil neck geek would appreciate. I am amazed at the popularity of the book and how the phenomena of “Da Vinci code tourism” has started. People actually travel throughout Europe looking for the clues that were in the book.
I think they need to come up with a “Chuck Norris Facts tour”, where you travel throughout Iraq, looking inside port-o-johns for clues that will lead you to the next Chuck Norris fact.
OK, so maybe I’ve been here too long.
