NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Chuck Norris has filed a lawsuit in federal court in New York against a Brown University student who wrote a humorous book about the martial arts acting star.

The "Missing in Action" star alleges a number of comments Ian Spector wrote in "The Truth About Chuck Norris" are false, the New York Daily News reported Sunday.

Among the so-called facts from the wisecracking student is "Chuck Norris can impregnate women with only a glance. He can also do this to men."

The book was published by the Penguin Group in November and contains the subtitle, "400 Facts About the World's Greatest Human."

Norris alleges the book has hurt his reputation and is an attempt to profit through the lies it contains. His lawsuit demands all copies of the book be impounded and destroyed, the newspaper said.
