Bridge over Danube could be named after Chuck Norris
A NEW bridge in Hungary could be named after the action film actor Chuck Norris unless the trend turns in an internet vote organised by ministry for the economy.
Votes for the "Chuck Norris Bridge" had attracted 8,725 votes, or 11 per cent, by yesterday morning, just ahead of those cast in favour of naming it after the Hungarian humorist Geza Hofi and three times more than for Szent Istvan, founder of the state.
Votes can be cast until 8 September 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.
