A clearly off-topic question: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/106165/what-is-the-relationship-between-chuck-norris-and-programmers/https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/106165/what-is-the-relationship-between-chuck-norris-and-programmers/

I wrote an answer making it clear that there is no real significance, as I assumed it could be useful for someone trying to find information in a bizarre circumstance: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/106165/what-is-the-relationship-between-chuck-norris-and-programmers/106169#106169https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/106165/what-is-the-relationship-between-chuck-norris-and-programmers/106169#106169 (update: I deleted the answer, it may be visible to high-rep users)

Is ANY response to such a blatantly off topic question detrimental to the community (despite the intention to add a scintilla of usefulness)? Should questions like this be completely ignored until they're closed?
