He should be in a rest home by now, right? Chee! Age bigotry raises its UGly head raht hear in net.cawmics! Be advised, dear friend, that Franco Columbu, the fellow who (along with Arnold Schwartznegger) made bodybuilding into a paying sport, was 41 when he last won the Mr Olympia. So what, you say, they're all drug-monkeys? Well, Cap is a supersoldier thanks to supersteroids a long time ago, y'know. Even if he WERE 40+ (and they say he's about 36 years physical age) he would still be in better shape that WE are, lying around reading comicses. Humph! Hutch
