#1 A "Neurovegetative State" would clearly indicate his condition continues to improve.

#4 neurovegetative state = Cuba
cerebral hemorrhage = Castro Today
total deficit in their neurologic capacities = Any Communist

I agree with gromky Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

#9 "Better stay away from him,
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor"

In his later years - Fidel started wearing some very nice tailored suits. Don't know if it was some sort of image re-make .... but he did "show" better in public :-) Like the lyrics say - I'd like to meet his tailor :-)

#11 They'll never admit to Castro dying until the corpse starts falling apart during formal functions.

#16 A fine day, indeed, JFM. Do we know whether Castro's condition is due to lifelong exposure to communism or whether he is just a rotten old bastard?
