It's not often the modern world witnesses the meeting of two great minds – think the Chomsky-Foucault debate in 1971, the first time Lennon met McCartney in 1957 or even Hitchens and Blair in 2010. But does this tender moment between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone – captured in a hospital this week as the two ageing action stars met up "coincidentally" while receiving treatment – say anything to you? Arnie, who tweeted the photo, assures us it's not a publicity stunt, but can you caption the moment when a 64-year-old Arnie met a 65-year-old Sly?

• Here is our selection of winners:

Arnie: Look at us: two Cold War symbols of American might and righteousness, drawn from diverse climes and fortified as one-man armies spreading the Word of God's own country in the world. And now here we are - with overstretched bodies, knackered bones, needing emergency surgery just to get us through until the next crack appears.
Sly: yeah - if only we were clever enough to see the massive historical irony in that.

Sly: Lets play great composers from history. You can be Beethoven.
Arnie: No, I'll be Bach.
