here’s another one. A Random Fact about Chuck Norris. Yes, that Chuck Norris from Walker, Texas Ranger.
A few of the random ones:
Great minds have purposes. Chuck Norris: Kill.
The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

When I was a kid, one of the most exciting times leading up to Christmas, was, of course, the arrival of the Sears Wishbook Catalog.
We would dutifully look through it cover to cover, (obviously skipping the clothes, and pausing to laugh at the bra ads. Come on, we were kids. We knew no different.) carefully taking notes as to what we hoped “Santa” would bring us the following year. We probably knew the Sears Wishbook Catalog better than our school books.
Well, someone has actually taken the time to scan a few choice years of the Sears Wishbook. You can check it out here.
He currently has 1975 (love those fashions, as well as the cool “solid-state” digital watch for $150.00. By the way, that 1975 $150 dollar watch, adjusted for inflation, equals $526.65 in today’s money. That was one expensive watch.
He also has 1979 and 1983. All key years in the toy buying experience.
I suggest you take some time and browse, and maybe work on your Christmas list for next year.
Coffee Crisis in 2007.. Just like gas today..

So now the next thing to inflate the price of is going to be coffee.
“Coffee futures may spike next year because of a looming shortage of green coffee beans caused by growing consumer demand coupled with an off year in Brazil’s biennial crop cycle.”
Sounds good.
