BUDAPEST, Hungary, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- A new bridge just north of Budapest, Hungary, could end up being named after the American martial arts star Chuck Norris.
Norris was chosen in an Internet vote launched by the Ministry of Economics and Transport. Out of more than 500 nominations, he received 11 percent of the total votes, The Budapest Sun reported Friday.
Just behind Norris in the votes was Hungarian comedian Géza Hofi. They both received at least three times more votes than Saint Stephen -- in Hungarian Szent István -- the founder of the Hungarian state.
Votes can be cast until September 8 on the Web site www.m0hid.gov.hu, where names like "It Will Never Happen Bridge," and "I Came 30 Years Too Late Bridgecent," have already been suggested.
