Bridge in Hungary To Be Named After Chuck Norris?
I’ve been to Hungary and seen the Danube and I just can’t imagine a Chuck Norris bridge fitting into the scenery. Why not a Brad Pitt bridge? I just don’t get it. Check out the actual story:
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, organized 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. Via Ananova
