    Default Bridge to be named after Chuck Norris!

    Actually, nothing's been decided yet.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Bridge over Danube could be named after Chuck Norris

    A new bridge in Hungary could be named after the action film actor Chuck Norris after officials left the naming to an internet vote.

    Votes for the Chuck Norris Bridge have so far attracted 11 per cent, of the vote, organised by the Ministry for the Economy.

    That puts it just ahead of naming the bridge after Hungarian humorist Geza Hofi and three times more popular than naming it after state founder Szent Istvan.

    Votes can be cast until September 8 on the website www.m0hid.gov.hu There are more that 500 nominations, as well as names referring to delays, such as 'It Will Never Happen Bridge'.

    A government committee will review the three winning names, as well as other proposals put forward by local governments, cartographers, linguists and others.

    The bridge over the Danube is due to open in 2008.


    The site is down currently to vote but it seems as if anyone can participate in the selection. Right now I believe Chuck is in third.

    Come on Hungary, if you name the bridge after Chuck then you will never need to replace it, ever.

    Well, I voted some time ago for Stephen Colbert, but it looks as though all hope is lost.

    It's about time Chuck Norris gets recognition. I think the US should follow suit and build a monument to him in DC.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Why would you name a bridge after him? Chuck Norris doesn't use bridges. A swift karate chop causes the waters to part and he walks across on dry land.
