I think Terminator’s SkyNet Algorithms would make better DRM... use a pirate font, and your computer responds by KILLING YOU!

Happy (almost) Cinco de Mayo!

Chuck Norris doesn’t have to kern ligatures. The ligatures see Chuck coming and they redraw themselves to match the kerning Chuck psychically projects.

If I give Chuck Norris a light weight will he and his friends put it on an exercise machine and make it heavier?

Chuck Norris can put some punch in your typography but you might get a kick out of his collection agency if you don’t pay promptly :-)

I heard that the creator of this site:

said at a WebCon last weekend that Chuck Norris was suing him. I think this site is the original one, but certainly the most well known.

Adobe’s former type marketing manager, Tom Prehn, bears a suspicious resemblance to Chuck Norris. Coincidence? You be the judge.
