kick the bejesus out of those pilafs...
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.

You don't want to cross the Chuck Norris Bridge, or it's liable to roundhouse kick you in the face...

the chuck norris is the only literal man made bridge - in which chuck norris is not only a man, but also the bridge. for only $2.00 he will round house kick your sporting SUV across any body of water.

I tried to decipher the website, but it ended up locking up my computer TWICE and I had to reboot.

Of course they'll name it the Chuck Norris Bridge. They couldn't name it the Jack Bauer Bridge, because no one crosses Jack Bauer and lives.
