I would rather see more Paulings than Arnold's too, but I would still
take
Arnold's life over Paulings any day of the week - Arnold got more
attention
than Pauling.  Arnold's wife ain't bad looking either, but she's
starting to
look anorexic nowadays.  And this is not to say I admire him (on the
contrary, I detest him greatly), but his body and genetics are
superior to
any other bodybuilder.  This is not to give credit to him, his volume
training method, or Joe Weider.  I'm only giving credit to his
genetics.
