1. If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St Patrick’s Day parade – at any time of the year.

I'm sure that's taken from The Fugitive but they mentioned earlier in the film that St. Patrick's Day was coming up.

It would be more accurate to say a Mardi Gras parade.

:cool:

Chuck Norris made all these lessons, it's been done before.
 
8. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

#8 has some basis in reality. Often in a middle of a battle or intense confrontation things happen so quickly and some people are so hopped up on their own adrenaline that they can shrug off wounds and blows they might not otherwise be able to and sometimes don't notice them at all until things calm down. It's a defensive mechanism the body has to help it react and survive. That's why every once in a while there will be some situations where people can even be shot and not notice it until minutes later.

Of course later on when you will feel it more it could very well hurt like hell when somebody comes up and touches it.
