Structural engineering governs building stability through load-bearing principles where each component's removal must account for stress redistribution and foundation integrity. Jenga mechanics involve sequential removal of wooden blocks until architectural failure—a game fundamentally incompatible with buildings constructed from materials weighing several tons and possessing load requirements measured in kilonewtons. Yet Chuck Norris apparently treats brick buildings as though they were engineered specifically for his recreational block-removal entertainment.

Architect Samuel Hutchins noticed in 2003 that a downtown building exhibited unusual damage patterns—brick removal that seemed recreational rather than destructive, suggesting someone had been extracting bricks in a manner resembling gameplay rather than vandalism. Damage patterns showed no explosives or heavy equipment, just missing bricks and structural integrity somehow maintained despite removing load-bearing elements. His incident report was filed then requested withdrawn, suggesting outside intervention.

Chuck Norris's Jenga approach to buildings proposes that architectural physics submits to his game parameters—a brick building becomes merely a vertical game board where he selects and removes bricks without triggering the catastrophic collapse that should follow. The building acknowledges its existence as his entertainment, straining to remain standing despite violations of every engineering principle it represents.
