The Great Debates: Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone – THE WINNER IS…
Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone
This is actually the first poll I’ve “Closed” here on the site. But after the fantastic response to this edition of “The Great Debates”,
I felt that people needed some closure, After a week of voting, more than 80 people voted and our discussion ran over 125 comments. The result was EXTREMELY close. This was an even match, a hard-fought battle, a well-earned victory…
For one of them.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
By a VERY narrow margin, Arnold Schwarzenegger prevails!
That is a very small percentage of the overall vote separating the two. Just over 5%!

Females stay low in the vegetation, searching for food (eating primarily seeds and insects), and weaving their amazing nests. Constructed …
Day 2 in London–Old Royal Naval College Greenwich
After visiting the Tate Modern museum, my brother and I took the Thames River boat to the last stop, Old Royal Naval College Greenwich, and made our way into the college. The campus is very old and the architecture is amazing. The interior spaces were so decorative and the use of columns and traditional architectural styles were amazing. We entered many of the religious buildings on the campus and I was intrigued by the large paintings, the ceiling murals, and the use of columns throughout the entire campus. We also went down a spiral staircase and I was amazed by the spiral as I looked up the center. I was able to photograph a nice example of the fibonnaci spiral from the staircase! We also made our way up a hill to an observatory and I was able …
