The article was so-so, but these are worth the price of admission:

- The system works because Chuck Norris tells it to work

- Chuck Norris doesn't need a test suite. The test suite needs Chuck Norris.

- CPUs run faster to get away from Chuck Norris

- Chuck Norris normalizes all schema just by inserting random data

- Chuck Norris can compile syntax errors

- Packets travel faster than the speed of light for Chuck Norris, but he can still catch them

- Chuck Norris has Internet 3

- Check Norris can parse invalid XML

- Chuck Norris can break Moore's Law

- Chuck Norris's brain is his revision control, and it works better than git
