Chuck Norris Fact #67: When Chuck Norris does a push-up, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down.
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to embed the video here (I don't have the actual file), so you'll have to watch it on good old YouTube. If you've ever wanted to SEE Chuck Norris push down the Earth, here you go!
Chuck's wife, Gena Norris, gives some background on this video: "We love this video that was done for the boy it was intended for and did bring a big smile to his face during his final days here on earth, before he went to meet Jesus. That is why we made the video. It has also brought some comfort to his family."
The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book by Chuck Norris himself is releasing in November, so be sure to check it out for 101 of Chuck Norris's favorite facts.

So, finally, I’m happy to offer the world The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book, 101 of my favorite Facts, with my personal reflections on each.”

Promotion for The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book will include a comprehensive marketing campaign and a national media tour.Said Jon Farrar, Tyndale Acquisitions Director, “The facts themselves will be humorous, but he will have basically a 250-word commentary on each fact.
