Chuck Norris Vs. Mr. T: 400 Facts About the Baddest Dudes in the History of Ever [Mass Market Paperback]

Ian Spector (Author), Angelo Vildasol (Illustrator), John Petersen (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 25, 2008

In November 2007, Gotham Books unleashed The Truth about Chuck Norris upon the world and changed publishing forever. Containing 400 farcical facts about pop culture icon Chuck Norris, the book burned through thirteen printings, roundhouse kicked the New York Times bestseller list, and left readers delighted (and a little bit terrified)....

Now Ian Spector has returned to his voluminous vault to bring readers 200 new Chuck Norris facts alongside 200 facts about his longtime antagonist Mr. T, in a battle that pits foot against fist, beard against mohawk, and Delta Force against A-Team. Included in this fearsome tome are such startling observations as:

? There is nothing to fear but fear itself, and fear itself fears Chuck Norris.
? King Kong once challenged Godzilla to an arm-wrestling match. Mr. T won.
? The reason newborn babies cry is because they know they have just entered a world with Chuck Norris.
? The last man to make eye contact with Mr. T was Stevie Wonder.
? Chuck Norris is a man?s man?s man.
? Mr. T once beat a man to death with his own corpse.

A hilarious tribute to two of the greatest humans who have ever lived, Chuck Norris vs Mr. T is the one book that can finally reveal what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

I could never explain how this book has touched me. But I must try.

This Christmas, my car would not start.

I turned the key ten, maybe twenty times. Nothing. I went outside and popped the hood.

My engine was gone.

Instead, there was a box. I opened it.

Inside the box, there was a box. Inside this box, another box.

I looked around. There was no one.

There was a box, inside a box, inside a box - each unmarked.

Inside the final box, there was a small map. A cold gust of wind blew by my ear. "Follow," it whispered.

I walked three miles to the woods. I walked three miles into the woods. I was led past a small stream. I smelled horses and felt a strange peace.

The path ended in a clearing. The wind rushed into my face. "Dig," I heard - or perhaps, I already knew.

I knelt and tore at the earth with my hands. It was a cold day.

Two hours passed as I worked. I grew tired.

Then, I felt a strange smoothness. I cleared away the soil, ripping it from beneath me.

I removed a small book. This book. It spoke to me, beautiful words, in a thousand languages I could never have known. And I wept.

I read it. I kept it in my jacket. I slept beside it. I ate a few pages. The book - it has changed me.

It will condition your hair.
It will whiten your teeth.
It will get you onto a game show.
It will reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
It will cure leprosy.
It will regrow lost limbs.
It will find your lost puppy.
It will get you laid.
It will watch your fish while you're away.
It will post your bail.
It will give you the power of invisibility, but only when you wish to be invisible.
It will remember your friends' birthdays.
It will defend you in court, even when you are guilty.
It will buy you flowers.
It will hold your love close, but not too close.
It will make you whole.

and

It will never lie to you. Not once.

You will know, as I knew, when the book speaks to you.

You should probably buy two.

This book is so powerful that I didn't read it, and I still memorized it.

This review is from: Chuck Norris Vs. Mr. T: 400 Facts About the Baddest Dudes in the History of Ever (Mass Market Paperback)

Chuck Norris VS Mr. T is the sequel to The Truth about Chuck Norris. This book is really funny. However some of the facts are just so stupid you'll think there has go to be a funnier joke than this one he could have put in the book. Also why is Mr. T in the book? Don't get me wrong. Some of his jokes are pretty funny too; however, this is still the Chuck Norris phenomenon. I recommend this book just don't go in it with high hopes like I did. If you like the first one pick this one up somewhere cheap like me.
