Hugo Chavez Bizarre - Exhumes Simon Bolivar
2010-07-25
Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela, has exhumed the remains of South American independence hero Simon Bolivar to determine the cause of his death nearly 200 years ago.

Mr Chavez suspects that Bolivar was murdered and did not die from tuberculosis, as most historians believe. Announcing the exhumation of his hero on Twitter, Mr Chavez said he "wept with emotion".

"What impressive moments we have lived tonight. We have seen the bones of the Great Bolivar!" he wrote.
Hopefully there's a curse attached.
"That glorious skeleton must be Bolivar, because his flame can be felt. Bolivar lives!" he added.
Then there must be all kinds of gouge marks inside his coffin from when he was desperately clawing at it...
A team of forensic pathologists and criminal investigators are examining the remains to see if Bolivar was the victim of a conspiracy rather than illness, according to Venezuela's attorney-general, Luisa Ortega Diaz.

"We have important discoveries that will be announced to the nation at the appropriate moment," she said.
Chew, chew, chew went the brain worms. Munch, munch, munch on his brain. Throb, throb, throb went his headache, as he blamed it on George W. Bush.

#8  Karl,

Is Chavez going to blame this one on the Gringos too?

Jim,

I don't know Jim but I have to say the "EWWWWW" factor on this one is pretty well up there on the Bates Scale.

Karl, I'm just wondering where Chavez's mom is buried.

Jim, you don't want to know.

#5  Tuberculosis was often a code name for syphilis in those times, esp. for honchos of Bolivar stature.
