Product Description
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 mans mans 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.

 Takes the Chuck Norris Phenomenon to a new low December 25, 2009
Erskine L. Thompson (Lindale, GA USA)
I purchased this book for my oldest son, and before wrapping it for him, I read through some of the book. I gave it to him, but could not in good conscience allow him to keep it. Every single page has at least one "fact" that is completely inappropriate, and sacrifices humor for the sake of low-brow, dirty attempts at comedy. Instead of being creative and funny, as many of the Norris/Mr. T facts have been, this book takes every chance to mention masturbation, sex, male genitalia, more sex, and the list goes on. In discussion with my wife, we thought about simply marking out particular portions that the boy shouldn't see, but determined that there was just too much to be expurgated. I realize some people enjoy that type of humor, but there was nothing in the product description at all that stated there was offensive or adult material in this book, and that disappoints me as well. Eight of the worst dollars I've ever spent, and it currently sits in my garbage can.

It is not you who wants to read the book, it is the book which makes you read it!
 Cover your eyes, or you could be blinded by awesome July 22, 2009
Jason (Backwater, Alabama)
Deciding who is more awesome between Chuck Norris and Mr. T is like taking sides between an orangutan in a robot suit wielding a machete and a T-Rex on a Skidoo with a lance. Either way you choose, the decision is right. That's what this book is about, two unstoppable forces meeting up in a random mish-mash of facts about their lives, their supreme dominance over all others, and the singularity that would occur if they simultaneously wandered into the same building at the same time. Don't believe me? Here are a few of the facts that might convince you of how incredibly lucky you are not to have angered either of these men:
On average, there are over a thousand items in a room - including the room itself - with which that Mr. T can kill you. He's so virile that each tablet of Viagra requires a drop of Mr. T's sweat for functionality purposes. Not only that, but one time he killed a ninja, and during the fight he got two of his fingers cut off. These two fingers are now Gary Coleman and Webster. And despite this problem, he can STILL count to ten left-handed! Amazing.
As for Chuck Norris, he takes showers by riding a Grizzly Bear through automatic car washes, can regularly beat a brick wall in tennis, Two and a Half Men was originally just his biographical story, and every time he tries to donate sperm the receptionist gets pregnant. Which is kind of bad news for her, because Chuck Norris has 189 STDs, six of which are found only in sharks. Don't worry though, he can do the research. While he may not have a computer, he does have a basement full of Asian kids who memorize numbers all day.
At first you'll be amazed and laugh at all they can do. Unfortunately, the 400 facts come almost as fast as a Chuck Norris roundhouse. Luckily, however, the laughs last forever, like the shine on Mr. T's gold.
It all started when I was 12 July 11, 2009
Evan White (Oxnard, CA, USA)
When I was 12 I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I knew I wanted to be bad! It was a full 13 years later that I knew the industry I would go into! It was the industry of being one of the baddest dudes in the history of ever! Now history is a funny thing, and the history of history started a long time ago. So, when I set down this path... I knew it would be a tough one, but with two of the worlds best known baddest dudes, I was in good company. And here we are today, as I write this I know deep down I could never pitty fools at such high frequencies dogs can hear it. But I can only assume reading this book daily will someday help me move cars with my mind!
great book, a little repetitive May 30, 2009
i love norge (Vancouver, WA)
If you like Chuck Norris and/or Mr. T, then you will love this book. It has 200 "facts" about each of them, although not all of them are kid friendly. Some of them are about sexual stuff. Some of the facts are a little repetitive, and you can tell that a few of them are the same fact, just with a character change. However, this doesn't happen much, and anyone who enjoyed the prequel (The Truth about Chuck Norris) will enjoy this book.
