Is Elvis Presley Still Alive?

Is this a fake myth that was created by people who just don't want to loose "The King?" This is a very tough urban legend to find the answer to. Well on the side that he is still alive, his name was spelt wrong on his grave stone. It read Elvis Aaron Presley, and the Aaron is spelled with only one "a." This seems odd that no one corrected this, since Elvis's middle name's spelling was very special to his family. His father worked very hard to change his birth certificate from Aaron to Aron.
He is currently buried in between his father and grand mother, while he asked to be buried next to is mother. Elvis was, or is a very superstitious man. He wouldn't let that much stuff be wrong with his grave, like spelling his name wrong. He might be alive and waiting until he's actually ready to die.
He had a tour very soon after his death scheduled. He didn't act like it. He had gained so much weight, but still hadn't gotten new clothes for his tour. He even said "adios" at the end of his last show, which he had never done before.
His coffin was very heavy and the air was cool around the coffin. Maybe for the wax body of Elvis?
His favorite books, also went missing after he died, and has no record to this day.
At the airport a man who looked like Elvis paid for a ticket to Buenos Aires in cash!
The evidence that suggests that this is fake is that Elvis fans don't want him to be dead. He was also pretty old, and was in bad shape.
There is a chance that Elvis escaped his life by faking his death, but he would probably be dead now anyway. -John Baskin

Are "Gen-Pets" Real?

Have you heard of “Gen-Pets”? They are genetically engineered little bundles of joy!

You can pick one of seven personalities for your new “Gen-Pet.” Also every single one comes with a heart monitor and an IV system! Best of all ,they aren’t robots or toys, they are living animals! You can get one with a 1-year life span, or a 3-year life span.

Sounds like a horror movie, right? Well the new “Gen Pets” are all over the Internet! They look a lot like shaved monkeys, with no tails. Are these creatures real? No, they are sculptures, made in 2005.

Man Being Hunted By a Mountain Lion?

You have most likely seen this picture in an e-mail, or online. The story is that a man was out elk hunting, and took a picture with his camera on a timer. He later looked at the picture, and saw that a mountain lion was right behind him when he took the picture! So, is this real or fake? This photo is fake.

The original picture was taken by a nature photographer in 2008 and was doctored to look like a mountain lion was about to attack an innocent hunter. - John Baskin

Does it take 7 years to digest gum?

Ah... the swallowing gum myth. This is one of the classics. No, it doesn't take 7 years to digest gum. Gum is indigestible, but it wouldn't just stay in your stomach. Gum takes the same amount of time to get in and out of your body as everything else. If your body can't digest something it just comes out the same way as you found it, only slightly altered due to the acid in your digestive system. Gross, but true.
