True fact: Chuck Norris' lawsuits cure cancer

News.com.au reports that Chuck Norris has sued publisher Penguin and others over a book compiling some of the non-sensical purported facts about him that circulate on the Internet, such as 'Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried' and 'Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.'

The lawsuit alleges that 'some of the 'facts' in the book are racist, lewd or portray Mr Norris as engaged in illegal activities' and that the 'defendants have misappropriated and exploited Mr Norris's name and likeness without authorisation for their own commercial profit.'
