Yes, Chuck Norris Facts are dated.  They’re done.  They’re old hat.  They’re so boring that they’re really, really boring.  I know.  But this is different.

I ran across this list of Mustang Cobra Facts being posted on a forum dedicated to a Chevy brand of engine, which is a bit like a list of Facts of how great the Yankees are being posted on the a Mets fan forum.  Even though they’re the same premise as Chuck Norris Facts, somehow being so closely tied to automobiles makes them funny again.  It’s like an inside joke for those who get it.  Alls I’m sayin’ is it makes me laugh. 

I’ve selected some of my favorites here; click the More link for all the facts.

The weakest part of the 03 Cobra’s drivetrain is the driver’s neck, which is typically the first thing to break during hard launches.

NASA recently announced that all future rocket launches will be powered by 03 cobra motors

If a gay man drives an 03 cobra, he comes out of the experience a homophobic straight man with a wife and 3 kids.

The nobel prize was awarded to the 03 cobra assembly manual.

It is possible to roast coffee beans with just the exhaust coming from an 03 cobra a block away.

This is for everyone whose only solution to Rubik’s cube was dismantling the torture device, then reassembling it to look kinda like all the colors match.  That’s right Stacy, you can put the hammer down; there is a better way.

Some bright developers have put an app out that will solve any Rubik’s cube in under 20 moves.  Heresy, you say?  Watch for yourself.

Victory! Sweet, vicarious victory!  The app is not free, but it is close enough at $0.99.  You can find it in the iTunes Store.
