Slovakia Plans to Name a Bridge after Chuck Norris

By John Farrier in Living, Travel on Feb 24, 2012 at 4:34 pm

Slovakia is cleverly and inexpensively rendering its border with Austria completely impregnable. How? It’s naming a bridge at a border crossing after action movie hero Chuck Norris:

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 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%.

In the comments, describe the properties of the Chuck Norris bridge.

    This seems like the worst possible idea! Think of the death toll!

    NOBODY crosses Chuck Norris and lives!

    I don’t know how this crap ever got started. Chuck Norris is one of the most lame actors I can think of. He’s not quite as bad as Steven Seagal,but he is pretty close.

    It doesn’t span the water;
    the water runs away from it.

    There is a toll. You will pay.

    It’s constructed entirely of
    his beard hair and is stronger
    than steel.

    Cars will stall, refusing to
    sully the deck with their
    worthless rubber.
