Talk:Mystery:Did a Fake Fidel Castro Meet the Pope? (view source)

:::::::The man in the picture looks like Fidel Castro to me. He seems quite hunched over, which would explain why he doesn't tower over the pope.

:::::::Additionally, it must be quite hard to find a lookalike for an 80-year-old. Cuba is not a large or wealthy country, so how many 80-year-olds could they possibly have to choose from? The probability that they would have a plausible Castro lookalike capable of fooling the pope and his retinue seems low to me - perhaps less than 1%.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 06:49, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

== Straight from ''Weekly World News'' ==
Could a communistic state pull such a stunt? Maybe. But there are many obstacles:
*How many conspirators are there? Nurses, doctors, make-up artists etc.
*You give power to a random character, something dictators don't like very much. And you allow this character to meet the pope!
Aschlafly, this claim is as sane as the claim that ''Elvis is ALIVE!!!1!1!'' - and your case isn't any more convincing! In fact, you are looking like a lunatic quoting from ''[http://weeklyworldnews.com/politics/22008/castro-flees-cuba-for-america/ Weekly World News]''. You had a hunch, and no reasonable evidence in the world will change your position! What does this say about your open-mindedness? This is almost as bad as your stance against physical reality at [[E=mc²]].
