FACT: In what I would call a resounding victory, Chuck Norris beat Abraham Lincoln in the Epic Rap Battles of History #3. (This is where I would normally post a link.

Despite the above accomplishments, however, what makes Chuck truly special -- and legendary -- are the Chuck Norris Facts that permeate the web. Many say these are pure mythology, just fun quips and sayings to make you laugh. That may be true but I still say this:
