Chuck Norris 2.0

Posted on September 11.

I'm going to flex my mad Spanish-translation skills (as in, I'm going to take advantage that my fiancée understands all the stuff I don't) and share a little bit of humor that has been quite popular in the Spanish blogosphere (a.k.a. "blogosphera"). Thanks to Alfredo de Hoces García-Galán, we have Chuck Norris 2.0. It's not quite as hot as the original, and I can't translate the inside jokes, but here are the ones I did make sense of:

• "Chuck Norris respondió a un mensaje de spam y le ingresaron el millón de dólares." — Chuck Norris responded to a spam message and he actually received the million dollars.
• "Si le sube la hipoteca Chuck Norris dará una patada con vuelta y reventará la burbuja inmobiliaria." — If Chuck Norris' mortgage payments go up, he would just do a roundhouse kick and pop the real estate bubble.
• "Chuck Norris sabe cómo se financia YouTube." — Chuck Norris knows how YouTube is funded.
• "Chuck Norris revela sus contraseñas y números de tarjetas de crédito en sus conversaciones de MSN. Nadie tiene cojones de usarlos." — Chuck Norris shares his passwords and credit card numbers on MSN and no one has the balls to use them.

Not bad for a short list, and a half-Colombian who still manages to translate Spanish words incorrectly.

   Courtesy of Everyone Loves Eric Raymond, here's another couple of not-quite-random Chuck Norris items:

   Bruce Schneier taught Chuck Norris how to divide by zero as they stood silent in an elevator.

   As initialization vectors, 'Bruce Schneier' and 'Chuck Norris' are interchangeable.

   Geologists recently discovered that "earthquakes" are nothing more than Bruce Schneier and Chuck Norris communicating via a roundhouse kick-based cryptosystem.

   Of course, Chuck isn't really the star, but it's worth the trip.

   Whoa, those are too nerdy to be funny. Or they are funny, but I'm too embarrassed to admit it.

   "Si sube la hipoteca" is the right one, and also "y sí recibió el millón de dólares" are actually the right ones, but you're learning pretty well, man
