Well it's all over the news today. Castro has officially stepped down as head of the Cuban state. As of today, he's no longer the longest serving ruler in the world. The title now passes to Omar Bongo.*
Castro will now dedicate all his time to wandering the cuban countryside searching for human brains to feast on, and preparing for a bit part in a 30th anniversary reshoot of the "Thriller" video.
*note: Technically Castro was not the full head of state until 1976, serving only as prime minister, but the president did not hold any real political power. Also note that the longest serving head of state is King Rana IX of Thailand (1946), though again his role is largely ceremonial.
