Decomposed Chavez body may be too dead to go on eternal display

After Hugo Chavez's death last week, government officials revealed that the late Venezuelan leader's body would be embalmed and displayed "for eternity." Just like Han Solo, but with less chance of him waking up again. However, the grisly plans may now not happen at all. According to Russian and German scientists who are experts in the field of embalming (what a job), his body is now a bit too gross and decomposed. "They tell us it’s very difficult because the process should have started earlier," said acting President Nicolas Maduro. "Maybe we can’t do it. We are in the middle of the process. It’s complicated — it's my duty to inform you." [Source]
