Suspicious minds misunderstand Elvis clue
[Posted by Dave Haber on Thursday, 03/11/10 2:40 pm] [Permalink] [Full Blog] [Tweet This]Widely reported in the news today is a story that an Elvis Presley record, autographed by Elvis himself, was one of about 20 records up for auction at the Regent Theatre's Anything But Books Sale in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Only one problem. The album, Elvis Sings Country Favourites, was released in 1985, eight years after Presley's death in 1977.
Auction volunteer Barry Morris said he came across the album while setting up for the event. He and other volunteers were attempting to authenticate the signature when they learned the album's release date. According to the Otago Daily Times, rather than be auctioned, the album will be placed among the $1 stacks at the sale tomorrow.

But, I think the auction organizers have missed a very important point. As everyone knows, Elvis has been sighted alive many times since the official date of his death.
So, not only is it very possible that The King actually signed this album eight years after he "died", the existence of this signed album actually proves that Elvis is still alive, and he's currently living somewhere in New Zealand!
If I was in New Zealand, I'd snap up that $1 bargain!

Wrong. This carving of Elvis was created around 1800 years ago, and is in fact a genuine marble acroterion, an architectural ornament that would have been found decorating the corners of a sarcophagus, a stone tomb or burial chamber in the 2nd century AD.
It is part of a collection owned by Graham Geddes in Melbourne, and is estimated to be worth about $60,000. It goes on sale at auction in October.
