Asker: Das passt leider vom Zusammenhang her nicht so gut rein - als Überschrift wäre es sehr gut.

Explanation:
Würde ich so stehen lassen. Es gibt z.B. eine Gruppe im studivz, die nennt sich einfach 'Chuck Norris Facts'.

Wenn doch übersetzen, dann vielleicht wörtlich mit: *witzige Fakten über Chuck Norris* oder freier: *Wahnwitziges über Chuck Norris* oder *Verrückte Fackten/Tatsachen über Chuck Norris...*
