You know, I don't get it. Since when are you not allowed to ask a Chinese man where a Chinese restaurant is? I mean, aren't we getting a little too sensitive here? If someone asks me, "which direction is Israel," I don't go flying off the handle.

Today's sign...

...that everything is right in the world.

From The Sun newspaper, in South Africa:

Hungary gets its kicks with Chuck Norris

August 02, 2006 Edition 2

Budapest - If Hungarian voters have their way, Budapest could become the home for the first bridge in the world to be named after action-movie star Chuck Norris.

The Ministry of Economy and Transport could well be kicking itself after the star yesterday became an early front-runner in an online poll organised by the ministry to name a new bridge across the Danube.

About 9 000 people have voted for the "Chuck Norris Bridge".

Hundreds of nominations have been put forward, many of them less than serious.

In second place, a few votes behind Norris, is Pato Pal, a character in a poem by Hungarian Sandor Petoffi.
