Castro Death Rumor Mongering

Update 5:59 pm: I'm out. Call/text with updates, or post em if you got em. Have a great weekend, y'all!

Update 5:44 pm: I am going home in 16 minutes. If any of you bloggers are still around then, update this! Let's break the news! And by break, I mean be the first to link to whatever news source does break it. Unless we got friends in Cuba we can chat with. Or Miami. Nothing new on tar interwebs that I can find, though.

Apparently all the classy blogs are against propagating the rumors of Castro's death.

Not us here at House of Nerds! At least until it's time to go home and get drunk.



Update 5:57 pm: This sounds official, but is the one "source" Perez Hilton, the same blog everyone else keeps refreshing incessently? You don't get to write a press release anonymously citing a blog. Just sayin.

Update 5:39 pm: rumors are everywhere! Are the police on high alert in Miami? Is there a safety threat? This story's pretty touching, actually.

Update 5:28 pm: Perez Hilton is still href="http://perezhilton.com/?p=4401">sounding like a real reporter - he says to wait til Miami rush hour traffic is over.

Update 5:15 pm: News sites are reporting on the blog post... that means it must be real.
Check it out - Castro might be dead.

Perez Hilton broke the story, and local news sources are following their lead.

What do you think? This might be a REALLY fun news weekend!!!!!

Who wants a cigar?

Oh, and we're denying it, of course. Which I think is what we do when people die, before we confirm.
