News from Havana

While the world media continue to speculate on Fidel Castro's state of health to the point of exhaustion, Cuban journalists are busy reporting other, much more important news.

Like the discovery of a giant boniato.

According to a report in the Castro regime's official propaganda sheet, Granma, workers at the Museum of the Revolution in Havana have unearthed the huge specimen in one of the surrounding gardens.

A type of Cuban sweet potato, this Communist boniato apparently weighs 29.3 pounds - or about 13 kilograms.
