I’ve been reading a lot about Chuck Norris lately on the Web. And some of the claims seem to be, well, a bit far fetched. With that being said, I came across these claims regarding Tiger Woods.
OK, by “came across” I mean “I made up,” but you get the point. Are they far fetched? I don’t think so. In fact, I would be inclined to believe about 2/3 of these claims ...
