Post by: Grammar-Man on December 30, 2005, 08:23:46 AM

Given the negativity surrounding bodybuilding in the mainstream media the past couple of weeks, it's always nice to see something positive about the sport. Here's an article from today's NY Times about a former bodybuilder and now gym-owner in Iraq keeping the sport alive there. Enjoy:

Arnold is going to end up ruling Iraq...and the United States of America...and Austria.   Heck, Arnold is going to end up ruling the whole world.  He's the Anti-Christ.
