“The experts said such a process takes six months and the body, exposed for over a week, was in no condition to be embalmed.”

May I suggest the method in below link.

How far away did the barriers have to be? I understand the corpse was already rotting. I wonder if bits have dropped off? Fingers, toes, nose. Wouldn't have been anything else prominent. Is there not a handy sewage works? Somewhere to turn it into something useful? Manure? Fertiliser?

LOGIC LESSON:
The improved living conditions of SAmericans despite a global downturn is awesome. But it does NOT mean UK citizen conditions, over the long term, don't continue to improve as well.

Is Stevie a sock puppet do you think? Head on over to this article, grab a drink and have a good read:

Interesting as well the links to old comments that was posted from a supposedly new poster.

I wonder how long Maduro and his grizzly followers pretended that their mentor was dead. They propagated a lie which convinced onl his gullible followers. We know that the Cuban surgeons screwed up and the Russians had to be called in to rectiy or rather try to rectify the Cubans, mistakes.

But Pinochio Maduro obviously knew the truth.

As Dr Goebbels said: “If you repeat a lie a 1000 times people will start to believe it ”

I hope that there will be no turmoil in this oil rich country

The stupidity of Latin Americans is legendary, they will adore a populist demagogue like Chavez, even after he maladministrated their country´s riches, even after he impoverished millions of people, closed down thousands of factories and businesses.
They are stupid, they say he “helped” them, how? he threw some money at them, but then their money became nothing when their currency devaluated and the inflation consumed their purchasing power.
And the same happens again and again all over the region.

Thanks for the heads up on that and I must admit to having a big laugh when the pair of them fell into the hole you were digging for them:
100 Anglotino: And the greatest part is that both you and Stevie now have a bit between your teeth and can be taken out for a ride seemingly whenever I need it. Stevie has already began chasing me.
Giddy up boys!

Brilliant. :o)

Agreed. I thought it was just me, but I'm glad you saw it too.

Guile sometimes means biting your tongue and letting the other person do all the work for you. And outside of DoD, Think and Stevie are currently the two posters that just can't resist.

Tell me, did Think suddenly start coming over all YMCA on that thread? Deflection to projection per chance?

They're still over there now running laps for me! Giddy up! I'll let them stew a bit longer.

@12 As it happens, I am writing from my little mansion in the quiet English countryside. A gentle rain is falling to water my gardens. Free of the deforming and killing chemicals and drugs provided to argieland. Chemicals that are in all the fruit and vegetables. Drugs that are in all the animal products. My BMW executive saloon stands on the front driveway being gently washed. My lawns are green and manicured. Courtesy of my gardener who came yesterday. My HUGE plasma television is replaying a recently-recorded television programme. An online service that still holds “20th Century Battlefields - Victory in the Falklands”, “The Falklands Campaign”, “Falklands: The Islanders' War”, “Edge of War - The Falklands War” and episodes of “How to Command a Nuclear Submarine”. All useful stuff! All courtesy of Her Majesty's armed forces. SEND HER VICTORIOUS!
@14 It makes me glow all over to think of the poisons in your body and your “mind”. I particularly like the thought of all the physical and mental deformities. Read this? http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/peopleandpower/2013/03/201331313434142322.html
@18 How are you on “mate cocido”?

I would say Capriles is as good as dead. Maduro pleaded to Obama not to assassinate Capriles as a plot they discovered in a recent speech. I don't think it is difficult to connect the dots to see why he made that speech.
If the USA was going to assassinate anyone, it would be Maduro. Besides, what are they going to do, assassinate him with a 3 year cancer infection?
More mind boggling than his stupidity, is the stupidity of the idiots that believe him.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/17/venezuela-election-idUSL1N0C907A20130317?feedType=RSS&feedName=rbssEnergyNews&rpc=43

I can see Anglotino's dilemma of who should win......Maduro or Capriles, if the military does not assassinate him first and blame the USA. I am rooting for Maduro. Whoever wins is fucked.......Venezuela is a shithole disaster and whoever wins is the blame of it all......Maduro is my man.

Some say Maduro will play on the memory and popularity of Chavez,

And thus try to gain power,
Some say the Capriles will prevail,
But who ever wins will have a big pair of shoes to fill,
Good or bad, corrupt or greedy, these shoes will need filling,

Reckon we will see this play out by Christmas, it the country does not decent into civil conflict by then..

La Think was very quick to post on one topic “I know about women you know” followed by an overlong smile and wink.

I must admit to thinking he seems a bit keen to disassociate himself from homosexuals.

I don't care what sexual preference people have (as long as they don't make it compulsory :o) ) but I must admit I find your posting approach a breath of fresh air and amusingly acerbic.
