CARACAS — Venezuela's government said on Wednesday it may not be possible to embalm the remains of late leader Hugo Chavez as planned because the process should have been started earlier.
Chavez died last week aged 58 after a two-year battle with cancer. His body has been on display in a glass-topped coffin at a grandiose military academy in the capital Caracas, where millions of people have filed past to pay homage.
The government had said it planned to embalm Chavez's remains "for eternity" in much the same way as was done with the remains of Soviet leaders Lenin and Stalin and communist Chinese leader Mao Zedong after they died.

Something tells me Chavez has been at room temp for a lot longer than they’re admitting...
Put him in line at the DMV. It’ll be like eternity.
Now I just need a mini-me!
Your company-killing, union-produced Twinkies?
He could just be ground up and put into a variety of compost piles. Maybe he could do a final small bit of good.
“El maestro es decomposing-o.”
Perhaps... but just look at Lenin... he’s still preserved.
I’ve thought him a rotten SOB for years now, so it’s nice to have my suspicions confirmed.
Yep. Went to a Scouts fundraiser for my grandson’s Troop. Someone had donated a box of Twinkies for the auction so I decided to bid on them.
Various people around me were laughing about how stupid it was to be auctioning off Twinkies when you could “buy them in any grocery store off the shelf for less than $5.00 a box”. My eleven-year-old grandson leaned over and said that I shouldn’t try to explain anything to them because they “probably didn’t have a clue about the union antics”. He and I discuss lots of stuff when he’s over here and he loves to read the comments on FR. Bringing him up right!
Float him in a hogshead of his own oil. Just like admiral Nelson in grog.
Float Joe Kennedy right along side him.
The buzzing of flies must be deafening.
