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.
Chuck Norris once shot down a Russian MiG just by pointing his finger and yelling, "Bang!"
The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
Pfft! Jack Bauer just needed to raise an eyebrow to bring down that MiG, and that was mostly for dramatic effect.
Guns don't kill people, Chuck Norris kills people.
There's no theory of evolution - just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.
Guns don't kill people. Chuck Norris kills People.
It is a little-known fact that the only person Chuck Norris is afraid of is Mr. T.
Jack Bauer would eventually discover that it was really rich white men that brought down the plane... rich white men like Chuck Norris!
Chucktatorship, coming to a town near you.
Chuck doesnt need bridges..he just jumps across the river.
(Great, now that whistling tune is stuck in my head for the rest of the day!)
"Jack Bauer" is Arabic for "I'm f*cked!"
Ok, it bugged me this much: (had to look it up)
Whistling tune from Bridge over the River Kwai

Jack Bauer was raised in a foster home...why?
Because, when he was two, he looked hard at his parents, they fled, and went into the witness protection program.
Jack Bauer doesn't need to eat, sleep, or use the bathroom because his organs are afraid of making him angry.
LOL...
