Castro Says Schwarzenegger All Muscle

HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuban President Fidel Castro praised California Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger's muscles but wondered how much brain power the former Mr. Universe has.

"To judge from the photographs, he has a lot of muscle, but they have not tested him to see how much muscle he has in the brain," the bearded revolutionary quipped during a five-hour speech Friday evening closing a Latin American social sciences conference.

"He way well have more force in the arms than in the brain," Castro, 77, said of the former Austrian body builder who went from B-movie actor to Hollywood star and governor of the richest U.S. state.

"At least he has the merit of having done a lot of exercise," added the Cuban leader, who played basketball and baseball when he was younger.

Anti-Castro exiles in Miami have called on California's future Republican governor not to trade with the communist-run island, where Castro has been in power since a 1959 guerrilla-led revolution.

Earlier this year a Californian firm became the first American company to sell seafood to Cuba in four decades, under a 2000 law that eased U.S. trade sanctions to allow sales of agricultural products.
