After a new U.K. study voted him the best hope to take on a alien invasion , Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's "ready to serve". The action star and former politician was voted number one by 2,000 British adults, though Will Smith was apparently a close second choice, thanks to his work in Independence Day . As for Schwarzenegger, he was chosen because of his Hollywood roles and his stint as Governor of California. A spokesperson for Blaze TV, who commissioned the study, says, " Arnold Schwarzenegger is a strong choice for dealing with an alien invasion, bearing in mind he's not only a screen action hero but was also Governor of California."

You might notice that locals call hundred-dollar bills “Humboldt twenties” and complain about how expensive everything is, or their use of the verb formation “getting flown,” meaning one’s property has been buzzed by a DEA helicopter (e.g., “We got flown a bunch of times this summer, … [Read more...] about MarijuanAmerica: Inside America’s Last Growth Industry
