alt Hacker NewsChuck Norris has died
Comments
17 years ago we launched the first "Chuck Norris Facts" app for Android (March 2009). It was a big success until end of 2010 when Chuck Norris sent his lawyers after us to get the app removed from the Android market. Chuck Norris won, we took the app down
Death had to take Chuck Norris sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight.

I don’t age. I level up.
I’m 86 today! Nothing like some playful action on a sunny day to make you feel young. I’m grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love. Thank you all for being the best fans in the world. Your support through the years has meant more to me than you’ll ever know.
God Bless,
Chuck NorrisChuck Norris (and Michael Landon) were golden age role models for young men. Strong but thoughtful, firm but compassionate, and deeply principled but also practical. Yes, these were acting roles but they picked those roles for a reason. Rest in peace, Chuck.
He was supposed to die last year, but death took a while to muster the courage to call him.
I even remember the times he was not vintage yet, but the real thing. Maybe even watched his famous fight scene with Bruce Lee on the cheap cinemas back in the day. Good days. RIP .
I can only assume Chuck has decided to relieve the grim reaper of his duties, leaving us all here to meet our own end not with a scythe but a roundhouse kick.
one of my favorite stack overflow questions: Why does HTML think “chucknorris” is a color?
Chuck Norris once slapped Pi so hard it became rational for a moment.
RIP dude, we’d continue the jokes, may your soul laughs as hard as we do.
Chuck Norris once bet 42 is a prime. He won.
I fear the crime wave as the thugs hear about this and take the streets back. Be careful out there people.
I remember trade chat (/2) in wow on the Medivh server would often turn into Chuck Norris jokes. There were always about how bad ass Chuck was. How tough and impossibly manly.
One of my favorites.
Chuck Norris jumped into a lake. Chuck Norris didn't get wet. The lake got Chucked.
From Reddit: "I heard that the opening 27 minutes of Saving Private Ryan were loosely based on a game of dodgeball played by Chuck Norris in 2nd grade." ;-)
It's a trick; he will come back unscathed in the next episode.
There's not a body inside Chuck Norris's casket, there's just a fist.
Clickbait. He is not dead, he just decided to retire from the world of mortals.
Chuck Norris didn’t die, we simply phased out of his reality.
So I guess Chuck Norris has now keys for the Pearly Gates and is the one who gets to pick the heavenly club members. I'm sure roundhouse kicks are somehow part of the process.
Why do I feel like an era has ended...
Rest in peace.
Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice.
The Grim Reaper wished that Chuck Norris had only come to play chess with him!
Chuck Norris dominated WoW Barrens chat back in the day. It was kind of weird and amazing at the same time.
The earth was too scared to have him on it anymore...
He was a hero in tech and science as well. I recall during my PhD studies, we always create new memes on our field that Chuck can finish things in no time. In loving memory of Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris let him win
Oh wow, coincidentally I watched a Chuck Norris film recently with my (90 year old) grandmother, which resulted in me diving down a bunch of Chuck Norris memes for the first time in more than a decade.
RIP
Chuck Norris does not go to heaven, heaven comes to him.
@dang, given Norris' contributions to Internet culture - the memes - shouldn't he be honored with the black mourning ribbon?
Chuck Norris died? I didn't think that was possible...
Chuck Norris doesn’t die. Death gets Chuck Norris.
I grew up watching action films in the 80s and 90s. I always like Chuck Norris ones as they had a humour and ridiclousness about them
Films like Missing in Action ,or delta force where the motorbike fires a rocket were just great at the time
I get he had some funny views later in life - but the films were a laugh at the time
Oh this guy is a legend. Did he do anything with tech peripherally? I hope we can put up a dark top for him as an exception.
Wishing him speedy recovery! Legend

Chuck Norris hasn’t died, he summoned the death. RIP.
I remember having a "Chuck" plugin installed on our Jenkins back in mid 2010's. Gave me a Chuckle every time i forgot it was there.
Chuck Norris decided to take the final sleep on his own. Death tried years ago, but Chuck didn't feel like it.
He immediately asked the ferryman for a coin to get to the other side.
The headline is incorrect. Chuck Norris didn't die, he transcended.
Also, the grim reaper hasn't yet gathered the courage to tell him.
He hasn’t died, he’s just moved on to an eternity of roundhouse kicking Satan.
Chuck Norris promising the USA will have 1,000 years of darkness if Obama wins in 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ae9b-B_EQ0
The only person that can train LLMs with his mind.
First Wade Boggs and now this. Just awful.
What a legend.
I enjoyed reading the comments here. RIP.
This just means we're in a simulated universe. He's respawned elsewhere.
The Grim Reaper requested permissions from Chuck Norris to take his soul.
There was a period of like 2 years when I was a kid where chuck Norris jokes were all the rage on the playground and I made an iPhone app that listed them all.
Jokes like “Chuck Norris is able to slam a revolving door.”
Anyway, I “built” this stupid app when I was like 13, copy-pasted like 300 jokes in there and a random one would show every time you tapped the screen.
Chuck Norris’s estate blocked the app from going live. I wish I had printed that rejection out and framed it.
