Residents of Slovakia’s Bratislava Region are inching ever closer toward naming a newly erected pedestrian bridge linking the capital to Austria after action movie star Chuck Norris. An Internet poll set up by the regional assembly will be used to decide on a name for the foot-and-cycle bridge that spans the Morava river. So far, the iconic tough guy is leading the pack with 74% of the vote. Norris really has no competition to speak of: Austro-Hungarian empress Maria Theresa is currently in second place with a pitiful 8%. Regional governor Pavol Freso will have the final word on the bridge’s official moniker once the poll closes in April, but he has already vowed to bow to the will of his constituents. [guardian.]
