Arnold Schwarzenegger may be tabloid fodder in the US, but he's still a hometown hero in Thal, Austria. He unveiled a hulking statue of himself there today outside the home where he was born, which is now a museum dedicated to all things Arnold, reports the Telegraph. "For me, this is not only a museum," he said, according to the AP. "It is also a symbol of will ... everyone has a chance." Can't get to Austria? Don't worry, there's plenty more statues on the way elsewhere. (More Arnold Schwarzenegger stories.)
