When Elvis died there were 100 Elvis impersonators.
10 years after he died there were 10,000 impersonators.
Now there are 50,000 - 85,000 (depends on who is counting and how).
If this continues at such an alarming rate, by the year 2020 one in ten people on planet earth will be an Elvis Impersonator (one third according to The Naked Scientists).

Elvis impersonators come in all sizes and variations:

• an Elvis on stilts
• a ten member elite Elvis parachute team
• a lesbian Elvis who calls herself Elvis Herselvis
• a Mexican Elvis aka El Vez, who shares the stage with his three “Elvettes” Priscillita, Gladysita, and Lisa Marie
• and we suspect that when we finally land on Mars we will find some ….Alien Elvis Impersonators

Some people use the plural term Elvii for multiple Elvis impersonators, but this is not grammatically correct. According to the Wikipedia, the plural form is Elves.

“If life was fair, Elvis would still be alive and all the impersonators dead” –Johnny Carson
