Ha ha ha ha !!!! When I came out of the hospital for a similar operation I looked like a refugee from Auschwitz for weeks and I'm younger than Castro who looks younger than me in the photo. Sorry I don't buy it. Its fake.

I dunno....he looks a little more gaunt & wan than before. But maybe that is because I have seldom seen a photo of him in anything other than green fatigues. I do not see any signs of fakery though. Lets face it, the guy is as hard to kill as a roach

Yes - but you didn't have a flotilla of make-up people like the funeral home artists who make the bodies look "natural", did you?
