I'm not sure if this is a fad or not. There's a ton of pages featuring him, but I can't figure out if there's a theme. They appear to be the result of the Chuck Norris fact list and Conan O'Brien's Lever Machine. * Chuck Norris, known for his role in Walker, Texas Ranger. The fad originated from a Chuck Norris Facts website that displayed fake facts about his godlike powers. every major accomplishment of mankind is attributed to the actor, as well as funny "facts" such as: When Chuck Norris jumps in the ocean, he doesn't get wet; the water gets Chuck Norris.
