    Chuck Norris (the real life dude) died recently,

    The post is referencing a well-known song titled “The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny”, in which Chuck Norris (as a cartoon character, the whole song is animated) descends from the heavens, beats up Indiana Jones, kills Batman, but ultimately loses to a bunch of characters ganging up on him, including every single Power Ranger. In the end of this bloody battle, only one was able to come out alive: Mr. Rogers, in a blood-stained sweater.

    Basically, I think that the post is saying that Chuck Norris (the real life dude) is dead because he was beaten up by a bunch of characters and every single Power Ranger, as the idea of that being the cause of someone’s death is absurd and ultimately funny in a way (and obviously not possible), it would parallel what happened in the animated music video.

    I think it’s a relic from the past, because computers do images from left-to-right, top-to-bottom, so, since your mouse cursor is an image, the top-left corner is the origin. Maybe it was too much of a hassle to center the crosshair on the origin, and instead developers or designers came up with the arrow shape.

    Since the arrow works fine, it became what’s most commonly used nowadays. The crosshair and dot have a different meaning, for example there’s a cross when resizing or dragging, and drawing programs usually use a dot or a tiny circle instead of the arrow.
