Erstwhile California Governor, former Mr. Universe and estranged father Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn't made much progress in the eight months since he announced he would be putting pen to paper to write his autobiography, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story. This morning, Arnold took a break from the word mines to ask his nearly 1.5 million Facebook friends for inspiration.

"I need your help," Arnold writes, presumably on orders from the future to set the story straight in the year 2012 and prevent Skynet Facebook from becoming self-aware. He goes on:

I have been working on my book, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, for quite a while now, and later today we are having a brainstorming session to talk about themes, stories, and ideas I might have missed. A million minds are better than a few, so I'm asking you to let me know: what do you want to hear about? What themes in my life? Are their any stories you really want to hear? Give me your ideas. You can all consider yourselves my co-writers.

In other words, Arnold is asking roughly 1.5 million monkeys to help him bang out his magnum opus. And he unleashed a torrent of over 1,800 Facebook comments he will never actually read in the process. In the fifty gems we managed to make it through before our heads exploded, eager readers were already asking for "Conan-esque themes" about conquering impossible situations (and women?), an explanation on "the new technology about micro chips floating in human bodies", and details on Arnold's daily routine while preparing for the Mr. Olympia title (including meals and exercise regimen, please).

We're hoping the glossy mid-book section has plenty of photos inside the Governor's private jet, but that's just us.
