Chuck Norris sues over 'mythical facts'

AP - Tough-guy actor and martial arts expert Chuck Norris has sued publisher Penguin over a book he claims unfairly exploits his famous name, based on a satirical internet list of "mythical facts" about him.

"Mythical Facts" - I thought they were all true! I'm feeling a little disillusioned now...I'm going back to bed. But, just like Chuck, I never sleep - I wait.

Pogo Stick Legend

As legend has it, an American traveler named George Hansburg was making his way through Burma when he made the acquaintance of a poor farmer. The farmer’s daughter was named Pogo, and Pogo—devout little girl that she was—wanted to go to temple every day to pray, but couldn’t because she had no shoes to wear for the long walk through the mud and rocks. So the poor farmer built a jumping stick for her, and Pogo’s daily temple bounce-trips through the mud and over the rocks ensued. When the impressed traveler returned home, he made a jumping stick of his own, attaching a spring to the wooden stick contraption that the farmer had introduced him to.

True or False ?

Whatever I'd love to see them make a comeback. then I could organise Jinjo races to the local temple for the kids....
