Elvis
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 9:14 amWell if he'd lived the King would have been 70 today, so I started looking around for odd facts about the man and found these (I especially like the last one 
);
Elvis Aaron Presley was one of twin boys. His brother, Jesse Garon, was stillborn
There are 22 Elvis Presleys on the UK electoral roll
According to his school records, Elvis had an IQ of 70
Elvis was naturally blond but dyed his hair black to copy singer Roy Orbison
According to an FBI report, Presley believed the Beatles had led young people astray "by their filthy unkempt appearances and suggestive music"
Except for five shows in Canada in 1957, he did not perform in concert outside the US
In March 1960, Elvis spent an hour at Prestwick airport, his only known visit to the UK
The famous phrase "Elvis has left the building" reflects the fact that Presley never performed an encore
Some of Presley's jewel-encrusted jumpsuits weighed more than 30lb
For a two-year period, Elvis ate nothing but meatloaf, mashed potatoes and tomatoes
Elvis became a black belt in karate in 1960
Elvis wore a cross, a star of David and the Hebrew letter chai. He said: "I don't want to miss out on heaven due to a technicality"
In Switzerland, it is illegal to mow a front lawn while dressed as Elvis
