Chuck Norries Joke Database
ICNDB is a fun database full of Chuck Norris jokes. If you’re a fan, it’ll be a while before you run out of Chuck Norris jokes again.
According to ICNDB, The phrase ‘break a leg’ was originally coined by Chuck Norris’s co-stars in Walker, Texas Ranger as a good luck charm, indicating that a broken leg might be the worst extent of their injuries. This never proved to be the case.
Here is a simply code that uses requests and json libraries:
