Chuck Norris exists, and so do the Chuck Norris jokes. He's not actually a god in my world, but we like to joke that he's probably secretly an Avenger instead. [It's kind of a comfort to know that Chuck Norris is a constant between universes, even if the jokes vary.] Have celebrities become deities before? If the prevailing theory is that deities become deities because lots of people have a strong enough belief, then there's gotta be more than just Chuck Norris who toe the line.
...also, I can't believe Santa Claus is real in your world. That's kind of unfair, can we swap or something?
[There's a quiet laugh.]
Apparently so. We don't have anything like that where I'm from, but we've got aliens and superheroes, so I guess it's just different flavors of weird.
