Which is good - but what you originally wrote seemed to indicate that if 
you want to look like Ahnold, that's a full-time job or it's impossible.  
I was pointing out that that again was another fallacy of the sort where 
you say "this thing that some people obviously do is clearly impossible".

You might not have noticed it (though several of us have pointed it out) 
that you have made a bad habit out of making these kinds of wild 
assertions in the past.
