Apparently, today is Chuck Norris Day. Here I am, minding my own business, reading my daily blogs (it’s like reading the daily newspaper, only much less sophisticated), and I’m surrounded!

First, Jon Abad, a fellow WPI grad, pointed out a “quickie” reference to a Tony Danza interview with Chuck Norris. (Perhaps, if you are not familiar with the concept of “Chuck Norris Facts,” you might want to visit this one last.)

Then, while catching up on WWdN:IE, I found Wil’s reference to a Chuck Norris sighting from back in the day. I thought that was a little weird, but I kind of let it slip from my mind through the rest of the day.

Now, I see that Bloglines has marked Al Can’t Hang‘s blog as updated, and he starts today’s post with a quote from Chuck Norris Facts. (Newcomers to “Chuck Norris Facts,” this is your starting point.)

Okay, that pretty much caused my brain to explode. I popped out of a pretty productive state of working and had to tell you all about Chuck Norris. It’s insane. I suppose I’ll also link you to The Man’s official website as well. Just so you can get the full effect of Chuck Norris Day.

   Who knew?! My friend ScubaSteve noticed the large number of references to Chuck Norris in the last couple of days.

   It’s insane!

   I’m wondering if I can henceforth declare January 19th to be Chuck Norris Day… How powerful is my small but loyal readership? (Including those poor people who keep coming here looking for a recipe for panatone bread… I almost feel bad enough that I want to look one up and post it!)

   It is good stuff. But sadly, I didn’t get any this year! My dad bought it from the Italian market in Hartford like every year, but this year, the tin was full of bugs! Imported Italian bugs! It was pretty devistating for all of us…

   Maybe I should learn how to make it!
