Chuck Norris strikes a pose on a beach in the UK. Feeling lucky? Try typing the term 'Chuck Norris' into Google.
Find Chuck Norris? Not on Google, you won’t.
One of the most popular men on Facebook can't be found online. Wink, wink.
By Matthew Shaer | 10.06.09
Chuck Norris has more Facebook friends than you do. Chuck Norris wrestles with bears (see video below). Chuck Norris is a hunter. Chuck Norris is never taken by surprise. And Chuck Norris knows exactly where you are, every second of the day.
Don’t believe us? Try this. Navigate over to Google. In the search field, type the following phrase: “Google Chuck Norris.”
But instead of hitting the search key, try the button that reads, “I’m feeling lucky.” Google will tell you that no standard web results were found. It will also tell you, in bright red font, that “Google won’t search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don’t find Chuck Norris, he finds you.”
It’s true, folks. Chuck Norris is a master of the 21st century digital landscape. No obstacle is too high. Chuck Norris, for instance, has over 5 million fans on Facebook. That puts him in the upper echelons of Facebook’s superstar culture. How many Facebook friends do you have?
Chuck is also a master of modern politics. Last month, Chuck Norris told true American patriots that they should proudly fly the flag dip their flag in warm tea. Take down that regular old American flag, Chuck Norris said – it’s no longer bold enough for these troubled times.
Instead, “post the 13-star Betsy Ross flag, Navy Jack or Gadsden flag (’Don’t Tread on Me’) or any representation that tells the story of Old Glory and makes a stand for our Founders’ vision of America,” Chuck Norris wrote.

COME ON YOU GUYS WAKE UP! The page is a ruse mockup and not a Google result page at all. In other words a fake. Read the URL (it’s a website made to look like a Google results page) and also the bottom of the page where it says creators of page and its non-afiliation with Google.

He’s right. Whichever way you lean politically, asking the spirits of The Founding Fathers and Mothers for guidance is not a bad idea. It definitely couldn’t hurt. So lighten up, Martin.

JoJo is wrong; it is a results page. If you do exactly as the author says, you get exactly the result he states, and in the “suggestions” it says:
“Run, before he finds you” and
“Try a different person”
It’s cute. Hand it to Google that they can make a joke.
6. nysal | 10.06.09
Why add the word “Google” before anything you are searching? (The article says to type in “Google Chuck Norris”…) That’s not how you do a search.
If you just type in “Chuck Norris” and try the “I’m feeling lucky” option in Google, you get directed to an appropriate page.

Chuck Norris can find anyone so watch out!!!!
Sorry, forgot to add great post! Can’t wait to see your next post!

Chuck just came out with his own “The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book,” with his 101 favorite facts and related stories. Read a review and it sounds awesome! http://www.amazon.com/Official-Chuck-Norris-Fact-Book/dp/1414334494

dj is wrong, JoJo is right. It’s not a Google page, it’s a page meant to look like Google, written by an Australian, and hosted by http://www.nochucknorris.com. The “I’m Feeling Lucky” button bypasses the results page and takes you to the #1 result. It just happens in this particular case that the #1 result looks like a Google results page.
If you read the page, it does say in so many words, “This page has no affiliation with Google”. Also, the real Google doesn’t have to ask for donations to keep its site up. Look at the bottom center (or centre, I suppose) of the page and you’ll see the Paypal donate button.
Google does have a sense of humor, but this is not Google’s doing.
11. jeff | 10.07.09
Actually, dj, you are wrong and jojo is right. It’s a page by someone who knows how to get to the top of the Google sort. Impressive in its own way.
12. Jer | 10.07.09
@JoJo, nice eye bro. I mean, I don’t think anybody else could of POSSIBLY figured that out.
13. IT person | 10.07.09
DJ — It is not actually a Google results page. When you click “I’m feeling lucky” Google automatically redirects you to the first result returned. The page is hosted at http://www.nochucknorris.com/ as you can see in the URL and it disclaims affiliation with Google in the footer. It is a mocked up version of Google’s search results page.
JoJo — The article was written in a humorous way. I think the author already knew this.
14. Jay | 10.07.09
Jojo is right, fools. try it again and look at the URL. You’re at nochucknorris.com, not google.com.
15. Russ | 10.07.09
Matthew Shaer is wrong, there are plenty of google hits for “Chuck Norris,” and “google Chuck Norris.” Waste of an article.

martin martin wrote, “chuck norris is a moron imho”.
Anyone else notice that was the last thing martin martin wrote…
17. okok | 10.07.09
The page that you are brought to is a FAKE. It was created an put out there just for this reason. Google did not have anything to do with it. Want proof? try clicking any of the links on the page….they are inactive, just buttons on the page to click on….and then there is the disclaimer at the bottom that say it has nothing to do with Google……
18. Ellie | 10.07.09
ha such a funny joke.
It was puzzeling at first, but then I went on this page nochucknorris.com Very nice.

“COME ON YOU GUYS WAKE UP!”
The official warning call of a modern pontificator. It’s also a warning that the following statement will be one or several of the following:
1. A Conspiracy theory
2. Wrong
3. Patently obvious to everyone but, apparently, the poster
4. Hopelessly biased

It made me smile, who cares if the page is a google fake. It’s to be in good fun.
21. Marymar | 10.07.09
haha http://www.nochucknorris.com/ That was funny! 
it’s a fake google page indeed! I like the Suggestions:
* Run, before he finds you
* Try a different person

“martin martin wrote, “chuck norris is a moron imho”.

Ahaha!!
it seemed that nobody had noticed your joke…
well except me of course… great joke man!
24. SoSueMe | 10.08.09
Someone has too much time on their hands…perhaps they could assist me, I have two websites to set up and a double handful to maintain.
Sheeeeeesh!

“When you’re in Texas look behind you
“Cause…you know what they say about Texas!”
(Nothing but steers and…)
26. Deb | 10.08.09
Funny. I wonder how Google feels about unauthorized use of their logo? Disney would have them in court already.
27. SoCalMike | 10.08.09
Yes JoJo & ITPerson are right. I came here to post that it wasn’t google at all, they already had done so. Still funny, nonetheless…
29. Bob | 10.30.09
Chuck Norris is a moron. And a talented karate expert. But still, politically speaking, a moron. He is also a terrible actor.
30. William | 10.30.09
Chuck Norris? Just another frustrated frightwing’r channeling his dissatisfaction in the wrong direction. A reactionary instead of a reasoning individual, allowing his emotions to be manipulated by the Dark Side.
31. NorrisFan | 10.30.09
There is an old argument that you ought to believe in God, because if you are wrong you will suffer an eternity in hell. This applies to Chuck Norris too.
Shame on any of you who slam the great Chuck Norris.
Remember the Butterfly Effect? If Chuck Norris gets angry, he might blink a little bit harder and cause a tornado in your home town.

Don’t take it too seriously.

another fun one is to hit “I’m feeling lucky” for “French Military Victories”
35. China Fong | 11.02.09
When Chuck Norris jumps into a lake, he doesn’t get wet. The water gets Chuck Norrised.
36. China Fong | 11.02.09
Also, “NorrisFan”, tornadoes don’t really exist. Chuck Norris just really hates trailer parks
And the only reason space exists is because it was afraid of being on the same planet as Chuck Norris.
37. S.S.S | 11.03.09
JoJo is right and if you google find chuck norris without pressing the I’m feeling lucky button it will show you the other site
