People will probably have to finally accept that Chuck Norris jokes are one of those unsolvable mysteries of the world. No one will ever know how this phenomenon started, but as it currently stands, Chuck Norris and the internet go hand in hand. The earliest records of Chuck Norris facts came around in 2005 and have since skyrocketed in number. The martial-arts supremo has even responsed on his official website. The best ones: ‘Remember the Soviet Union? They decided to quit after watching a DeltaForce marathon on satellite TV’. Another golden nugget, ‘Chuck Norris uses pepper spray to spice up his steaks’. The site has now gone one further and turned into a full-fledged business, hawking US$10 to US$25 T-shirts with Chuck Norris jokes. Whatever you feel about this odd phenomenon, it is here to stay for as long as the internet exists. Your opinion doesn’t count and Chuck Norris is beyond anyone’s opinion, anyway.
