People Say the Stupidest Things on the Internet


This is a posting that I actually saw on the Internet Movies Database Message Board (it was in regards to "Iron Man" and other comic book films that might/should be made):

"Chuck Norris is the only actor that can play Captain America."

For the record, Norris is 68 years old!

Though, Harrison Ford who comes back to the screen this summer as Indiana Jones is 65 (he'll be 66 in July).

Ironically, Norris said (while campaigning for Mike Huckabee) that John McCain, who is 72, was too old to be president.

Of course, if Norris got the nod to be Captain America, it's safe to assume that the beard would have to go.

UPDATE: I was not aware that when I posted this yesterday that Norris was the commencement speaker at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., on Saturday. Liberty was the arch rival of my alma mater Radford University. The commencement speaker at my beloved Highlander U was the perhaps less interesting, but certainly less polarizing sports writer John Feinstein.
