nThensubtitle of this holiday is “No one’s perfect, but everyone can be awesome!”
n
n
n
nThenInternational Day of Awesomeness is today because March 10 is ChucknNorris’s birthday. And although the real guy Chuck Norris—thenactor, martial artist, and person—is not at all awesome, in mynopinion, since he has said some pretty bigoted things (like that thenreelection of Barack Obama would lead to 1,000 years ofndarkness!)—there is that meme about Chuck Norris being a sort ofnsuperhuman, super strong, super fast-kicking guy.

Chuck Norris “Facts” tell us that the workout gym 24 Hour Fitnessnstays open 25 hours a day for Chuck Norris. And that Chuck Norris canndivide by zero. And that there are no such things as seasons; ChucknNorris just gets bored with the temperature.

nThisnfunny hyperbole (or exaggeration) about Chuck Norris reminds me ofnthe “most interesting man in the world” ads. You know, the guynwho can speak Russian…in French. The guy who was once bitten by anrattlesnake…After five days of excruciating pain, the snake finallyndied. The guy who, in museums, is allowed to touch the art. The guynwho can kill two stones with one bird.
