Too much filler. Should have been 15 instead of 40. Should have been his wife who can kill Chuck Norris.

Please don't take credit for work that you stole on an internet forum. I wrote many of these facts and I'd appreciate it if they weren't stolen without some sort of link or at the very least, you mention that you had gotten them from another source. Thank you.
