Nope. He'll be receiving free healthcare from the state for the rest of eternity.

Serious question, will he ever die?

Or more precisely, will he ever be permitted to die by the Cuban government, if you know what I mean.

What if I believe that he´ll die but I don´t believe he will join anyone singing kum-bay-yah?

I think as long as there isn't a moderate in the Oval Office, Castro will be "alive"...

Even though American hostility to Cuba was largely formed during the Kennedy administration, and maintained across Johnson, Carter and Clinton, hardly a Conservative bunch, those Democrats.

Castro's already dead, just no one knows.

Not even Castro himself. :eek:

If nothing else, he'll die when the sun asplodes.

Anyway, I think that the international community needs a plan in case Cuba's succession fails. Perhaps US and Venezuelan troops could be put on standby? They'd sabotage each other's attempts to turn Cuba into a puppet state, so the Cubans can choose their own destiny.

like any uncle with a pedophile vibe he will always be the last to die :)

a better question would be do you think Castro will reveal that he is an android anytime soon?

Castro is very ill. Hence, he will die soon. But it takes more than a dead body to kill Castro. It is the only existing socalist state, and now even without the support from the soviet union. Perhaps the idea of socialism will continue in Cuba. Where else, as the Cubanian people love Castro in majority - sure not everyone and not without any doubts, but I think he and his system is more loved or supported than the US politics concerning Iraq in the US population.

No, He will live on forever as the Immortal God-Emperor of Cuba, kept technically alive through an arcane device known as the People's Revolutionary Throne.

...The North Korean Government would have done that with Kim Ill-Sung, but they defaulted on the contract they signed with the Adeptus Mechanicus. Cheap bastards.

Yes. Eventually, he will. Then the USA will only have to worrry about the other 11,394,042 socialists on that island.

Poorly phrased poll.

He won't ever hold hands with Elvis singing Kumbaya. He will soon join Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Beria, Khruschev, Brezhnev, Andropov, Ulbricht, Hoxha, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, etc., in the Red-hot section of hell labled "Communists", where he will wail and gnash his teeth.

Hounds of hell are already circling in anticipation, hungry for meat. :D

The Cuban Communist Party already has plans to change their name to the Ecclesiarchy.

I am ultimately of the opinion that he is dead already... why else will he not appear in public and have done all pre-recorded videos.

You failed to mention Regan. You also seemed to have forgot that Clinton actually started trading with Cuba, and then Dubya stole the election and stopped all the work Clinton had done towards normalizing relations.

The selective memory of the right...

Anyway, I dont think he'll ever die. He'll be preserved as a head in a jar ala Futurama.

He is dead in body but not in spirit. For he will forever live on in our hearts...much like Bill Nye, the science guy.

Sigged!

And to answer the original question, he will die when the Evil One (the Pope) claims his soul.

Haven't you heard? He's already died. Hell rejected him and so now he's immortal, left in a permanant coma. Along with Hitler and Stalin:D
