In other words, if your existence upsets him, we are terribly sorry. For the rest of you, it may be in your best interest to review our top 25 reasons not to upset Chuck Norris.1 2
Really? Chuck Norris?! C’mon!
This is BS. Assault by firearm is 1-325? Really? That is a .3% chance of getting shot (1/325=.003 => 3%). Is that taking the whole world into account? Even so that number seems ridiculously high. In 2010 11,000 homicides in the US were by gun. There are about 313,000,000 people in the US. 11,000/313,000,000 = .00003 => .003%, so that rate is off by 100x. add two more zeros to that 325 (32,500) and you’re a little closer, which puts it closer to your flood numbers…. which I also doubt are accurate. This whole list is likely way off.
This article is bull and chuck Norris is 72 years old. Norris was also defeated in his first two tournaments, Don’t believe everything you see on TV. If you pinned chuck Norris vs a young boxer who has only been boxing for 5 years my money would be on the boxer. I wanted a serous article not a joke article thanks for wasting my time.
Very interesting list. But most all of them are going to happen one day
I just hope i die in my sleep with a good dream nothing bad
So… the stat on gun related deaths is wrong. According to UNODC and OAS, you only have a 1 in 9,803 chance of dying due to a firearm, and in fact, that includes suicides which are almost double homicides. If you only count homicides, the rate is 1 in 27,027. Just between “flood” and “air travel accident”
All together weird, Lol !!
Nobody says LOL any more, if your going to say it just laugh dont put LOL it is very very old
Maybe they don’t care, maybe they are old, either way they should be able to express themselves without criticism. I’m feeling pretty high on my horse today.
Great list, until number 1 was revealed. Ridiculous. Just ridiculous. *facepalm*
Great list. Was particularly surprised about #1. Haha
