Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left some doubt…

Are you one of those people who thinks Elvis is dead, or are you more the sort who enjoys life on Earth and has never visited another solar system?

As the 29th anniversary of The King’s death passes, some guy is offering a $3 million reward for anyone who finds Elvis Presley alive.  You can read about his offer here:  Now, the very technical name for this is a “long shot,”  made longer by the fact that even if you found him, Elvis might deny being Elvis.

Of course, the way around that, if you’re really clever, is to offer Elvis some of the reward money.  Like, say, 10 per cent.  Who’s going to deny being Elvis when there’s $300,000 at stake? Nobody. Here’s the story:elvis300.jpg
