Rajnikant Jokes and the Real thing.....

Lately the Internet has been inundated with rajnikant jokes and facts. We get SMS's stating the supernatural abilities of rajnikant. For once even we are amazed by the creativity of the people who develop such amazingly humorous facts and one-liners.

But as our senior Rohan Gupta points out all the jokes(95%) of them have just been copied from a previous internet phenomenon known as "Chuck Norris facts".Chuck Norris facts are satirical factoids about martial artist and actor Chuck Norris that have become an Internet phenomenon and as a result have become widespread in popular culture. The facts are normally absurd hyperbolic claims about Norris's toughness, attitude, virility, sophistication, and masculinity.
The facts typically claim that Norris is a tough, all-powerful super-being. Chuck Norris facts have spread around the world, leading not only to translated versions, but also spawning localized versions mentioning country-specific advertisements and other Internet phenomena. Allusions are also sometimes made to his use of roundhouse kicks to perform seemingly any task, his large amount of body hair with specific regard to his beard, and his role in the action television series Walker, Texas Ranger



On November 29, 2007, Gotham Books, the adult division of Penguin USA, released a book entitled The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 facts about the World's Greatest Human. Norris subsequently filed suit in December against Penguin USA claiming "trademark infringement,unjust enrichment and privacy rights".
On October 7, 2009 Tyndale House Publishers issued The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book, which was co-written and officially endorsed by Norris.( Wikipedia.org)
