    (Reuters) Slovaks vote to name bridge Chuck Norris

    US action film star leads the running in public vote for name of bridge to cross Morava river into Austria


    Slovaks have been voting overwhelmingly in favour of naming a new pedestrian and cycling bridge near their capital after 1980s US action film and TV star Chuck Norris.

    The two other top names in the running for the bridge, which will span the Morava river and cross the border to Austria, were Maria Theresa after an Austro-Hungarian empress and the Devinska cycling bridge in honour of the closest village.

    Norris, a martial arts expert-turned film star, is known for playing tough guy characters in such movies as Lone Wolf McQuade, Missing in Action and The Delta Force.

    The actor's work has become a popular source of kitschy fun among Slovaks and a mainstay for local jokes about macho strength and invincibility.

    The final decision will be up to a regional assembly. But regional governor Pavol Freso has said it would follow the wishes of the people in the internet ballot where Norris leads as the top choice for the bridge's name.

    "The same way as we have so far been building it in full sight of the public, we will seek that the name is accepted by the public as well," he said.
    The voting will run until April. As of Thursday, 1,157 votes have backed Norris, 74% of the total, leaving the runner-up "Maria Theresa Bridge" far behind with 8%.

        After a string of grizzly deaths a street in Texas had to be renamed...

        Because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.

          The one that I still think is the best goes something like "Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice."

              One of my buddies came up with these:

              Trolls are already signing up NOT to be assigned to the Chuck Norris bridge

              Local governments are planning to place cemeteries at both ends of the bridge because no one crosses Chuck Norris and lives.

              Chuck Norris was onsite for the ground breaking ceremony. The bridge length had to be doubled as a result.

                My mind went straight into the gutter with this one... The bridge can't be shorter than the man

                  Chuck Norris went walking in public with an erection: there were no survivors.

                    LOL... never thought of it that way. "ground breaking", as in widening the chasm, I think is more what the line is about.

                    The other way is pretty funny too.
