Arnold Schwarzenegger loves to watch skiing — even without any gloves! Look how happy he is! Ha!

The Terminator star joined his bodybuilder-actor friend Ralf Moeller (Gladiator) in Austria last Saturday to watch the annual World Cup alpine ski races, the Hahnenkammrennen.

The event takes place in the Kitzbühel Alps and a winner (referred to as the Hahnenkammsieger) is determined by combining results of the prestigious downhill race, which Arnie and company watched, and the slalom.

Check out more pics of Arnold's visit to his home country below!

Worst. Software Error. Ever.

Earlier this year, 26-year-old Swiss national Behar Merlaku tried his luck at a slot machine in an Austrian casino in the tiny town of Bregenz…and it did NOT go as planned.

The machine started ringing and flashing for Merlaku, and he was informed that he'd just won $57 million…until casino owners told him that there'd been a "software error" and they offered him $100 and a free meal as a consolation prize.

Apparently, the

Every adolescent boy's wet educational dream has just come true!

The world has welcomed the very first school which teaches a "hands on" curriculum devoted entirely to sex and becoming a better lover.

The International Sex School is located in Vienna, Austria and costs students £1,400 (over 2 grand for us yanks), but it might be worth it for somebody who is either A.) incredibly horny or B.) really bad in bed.

The Swedish-born "headmistress", Ylva-Maria Thompson, describes the program as "the world's first college of applied sexuality" where the "core education is not theoretical, but very practical."

We don't see this flying in America anytime soon, but the school is open to anyone 16-years-old and above where they can expect to learn "how to be a better lover" through coursework covering "sexual positions, caressing techniques, anatomical features."

Students stay in a mixed sex dorm and are expected to follow-up with their hands on teachings with more hands on homework after class.

If this institution DID ever migrate to the states, we think it would give ITT Tech and DeVry a run for their money.

Anyone who wants to can see Arnold Schwarzenegger's roots as the Austrian home he grew up in has been turned into a museum.

The home, which he occupied from 1947 to 1966, is now open for public viewing. .

From his first work-out machines to an exhibition that covers his times as an action star and California governor, the Thal flat will show the life and times of Arnold — just not Arnold himself.

But who knows… Maybe he'll be back!

And boobs, apparently.

LOL!

Some really awesome people in Vienna, Austria built a gigantic 5-story house filled with hammocks for people to "hangout" and relax.

The house is an open public space where people can sit in their hammocks and look out at a….giant statue of boobs.

We have no idea what the statue means or why it's there, but we wouldn't change a thing!

Wish we could be hanging out on one of those hammies right now!

Love it!

Arnold and his posse were spotted biking around Austria yesterday afternoon before he caught a plane ride home.

Biking is a great, low-impact exercise.

It’s perfect for aging muscle men who need to take it easy on their joints!

Tragic.

Austrian former Olympic judo silver medalist Claudie Heill committed suicide by jumping out of a sixth-story window in Vienna.

The Austrian judo federation said in a statement that "nobody could foresee this act of desperation."

The country is stunned as Claudie reportedly showed no signs that she would do something like this.

Our hearts go out to her family and friends.
