National Chuck Norris Day

Although not widely known in the international community, it is actually National Chuck Norris Day in Luxembourg on 21st July.

Why do the Luxembourgish celebrate National Chuck Norris day? Fear.

Chuck Norris has no actual connection to Luxembourg; but ever wise to the possibility of attack from larger foreign powers (and let's face, Chuck is the largest foreign power), the Luxembourgish have cleverly decided to make the 21st July National Chuck Norris Day - to placate Chuck.

If Chuck Norris had been 1/10 Luxembourgish (like Tom Cruise and George Lucas), I would have been able to make the following jokes:

The original title for 'Delta Force' was 'Mousel Force'.

Originally 'Walker Texas Ranger' was going to be filmed in Luxembourg. It was going to be called 'Walker Diekirch Ranger'.

Despite what local historians say, it was not, in fact, the Luxembourgish who demolished their own city walls - it was Chuck Norris with a single roundhouse kick.

When Chuck Norris is driving in Luxembourg, the 'priorité à droite' rule changes simply to 'priorité à Chuck'.

Chuck Norris is the only human being to have ever drunk a Bofferding in every single bar, café and restaurant in Luxembourg, in one day - even the ones that only serve Mousel.

..but Chuck isn't 1/10 Luxembourgish, so I can't make any of those jokes.
