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

Article history

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.

I only took three paragraphs, as the article is seven paragraphs long . . .

Apparently, he's got 74% of the vote for the name of this bridge.  The second-place name has 8%  Do the math.

Well, OK then . . .

If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.

Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

It is going to be the least used bridge in history. Who is going to be brave enough to cross Chuck Norris?

With enough money and technology any of us can turn our sons into a Chuck Norris.   So this little man in stature can beat the heck out of taller and bigger men. 

Why is this man so beloved, is it his movies, his expertise as a fighter, his PR advance men, or his connections in Hollywood and to those that seek office .   ??????

New joke, found on the Barking Moonbat Early Warning System:

There will be no bridge, as Chuck Norris will just throw vehicles and trains across the river, and they will land perfectly every time.

You've gotta love those Slovaks! You can bet that the Obama administration will never name anything after Chuck Norris, the anti-lib.  :-)

His resume is broader and more impressive than that, and he is a conservative, a prime example of rugged individualism. He actually has real accomplishments people admire.

Chuck Norris heard nothing could kill him, so he hunted down Nothing and killed it first.

The real story here is the fact that 24% of people had the balls to vote against Chuck Norris.

Nobody can cross Chuck Norris and live to tell about it!
