OWNED! Well.. It sucks that he is retiring...I enjoyed watching the hour long discovery special about him...mostly his body too...genes have alot to do with it but he trained his body so he actually has less lactic acid then most other people...crazy stuff.

I heard he was going to run for the Govenor of Texas?  Anyone else hear of this rumor?  If so, is there any truth to it?

It was once believed that Chuck Norris actually lost a fight to a
pirate, but that is a lie, created by Chuck Norris himself to lure more pirates to him. Pirates never were very smart.

I've heard the same.

Don't know if there's truth to it though.

It actually has to do alot of aerodynamics...they ride in different formations and rotate out so one guy does 70% less work..its really cool.
