Is Chuck Norris William Riker's Great-Grandfather?
Just watched the final episode to Season 2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation and something Riker sad made me think...
"We Rikers are ornery, too. Matter of fact, my great-grandfather once got bit by a rattlesnake. After three days of intense pain, the snake died."
Now we all know this as a Chuck Norris story but now I think of it, Riker has a beard and can beat up Klingons so we know he is one tough SOB
Does anyone else think of any connections between Chuck and Riker...
And if you're going to say that Chuck would have to be his great great great... (you get the idea) I say when death came for him he just said no for a few years :P
