Forget George Washington; Slovakia names its bridges after real heroes!
Slovaks have been voting overwhelmingly in favor 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 honor of the closest village.
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.
That’s awesome, and it’ll be the toughest bridge in Eastern Europe.

They’ll have to change the name of the bridge. After all, no one crosses Chuck Norris and lives!
Mike – +1. Well played.
It won’t have an end like The Fort Steuben Bridge. No one would dare harm it…………..
Chuck Norris for President………
Dang, Mike beat me to it…. Agreed, well played sir.
Yep, Mike Elliott just nailed it! Great Mike!!
And howdy Wyatt – you feeling better today (I hope?!)?
I hear they’re also coming out with a new wireless device in honor of Chuck Norris over there- it’s called the iPunch.
