Don't Be Blue Elvis Is Alive

A woman claiming to be Elvis Presley's half-sister says the King of rock and roll is still alive and has convinced a Memphis judge to reopen the estate of the late Vernon Presley, the King's father.

Eliza A. Presley, who recently changed her name from Alice Elizabeth Tiffin, says she has DNA evidence to prove her claims.
An envelope licked and mailed to her earlier this year was allegedly licked by "Jessie Presley," an assumed name used by Elvis Presley. Total proof that the King did not die in 1977.

She also says she has proof that she is Elvis Presley's half-sister even though her mother denies she had an affair with Vernon Presley and wishes her daughter would take her medications.

The judge said his ruling was just to reopen the estate and did not confirm Eliza A. Presley's claims.

Eliza has also received letters from 'Dan Williams' an assumed name used by Steve Fosset and a letter from 'Bushy Bob Roberts' thought to be Billy the kid. She also gets radio messages via her radio from Harry Houdini.

Presley is her 10th name change this year.

Sneaky Missile To Be Used By The Military

A revolutionary missile that can stalk a target until the perfect moment to strike is being developed by the Ministry of Defence for use against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The lurker bomb will be able to shadow British troops for up to ten hours or 100 miles, ready to take out enemy targets with surgical precision at a minute’s notice.

The 12ft weapon officially named Fire Shadow and made in Britain will be used by the Royal Artillery and is expected to be operational by 2010.

Other missiles in development The Flasher whose casing falls away before it explodes best used in parks, The Stalker who calls and harasses the target before following it home and waiting outside to explode and The Spammer who repeatedly e-mails and texts the target telling them how big they will explode but then doesn't. The latter weapon is non-lethal and is just for annoyance.

No News Is Bad News

Due to the crashing US economy there has been a worldwide shortage of news. President Bush has asked Congress to give him $800 billion dollars and superpowers to fix the problem.

The ones who are expected to be the hardest hit but the lack of news are the elderly and as winter approaches many might die unless something is done fast.

Deity Road Deaths At An All Time High

A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on Interstate 105 in South LA, North America, and dragged for nearly a mile before being hit by several other cars.

All Eastbound lanes were closed for more than four hours to inconvenience motorists and so that police could snap pictures for their blog.

Patrick Kimball of the Highway Patrol said the victim was walking on the free-way in the dark which is not usually a good idea.

The body carried identification that showed the man was a 67 year-old who went by the single name of Allah.

Officer Kimball was unsure what effect this would have on the war of terror.

Five Year - Old Swallows Balls

Chris Morrison had been taking five-year-old black Labrador Oscar round the Pitreavie golf course in Dunfermline, Scotland for several months.

He took Oscar to the vet after noticing a rattling sound coming from his pet's stomach.

They then discovered that 13 golf balls were lodged in his stomach.

Mr Morrison, said one of the balls had been in his stomach so long that it had turned black and was decomposing.

He said: "He finds golf balls like truffles. We're not sure how long exactly this happened over, but it must have been a fair period several months at least. I felt his stomach and heard them rattling around. He normally brings a few home, but I had no idea he had eaten so many."

Also found in Oscar's stomach was a human hand, a car license plate and a WWII bomber that went missing during a training flight.

Oscar is now on the road to making a full recovery on a special diet of watered-down food and tennis balls.

Bob Hesketh, 40, principal vet at Vetrica in Rosyth, said he had never seen anything like it. "It was like a magic trick.

I opened him up and felt what I thought was two or three golf balls.But they just kept coming until we had a bag full.Labs are known for a fondness for balls but usually you have to entice them by smearing peanut butter unto them."

Teen Beauty Gets A Big Head

Corinne Coyle, 19, has vowed never to touch alcohol again after an exotic holiday cocktail containing a 'secret ingredient' caused her head to swell to abnormal proportions.

She was rushed to hospital in Crete's popular party resort of Malia after just a few sips.

The cocktail, bought in a Greek bar for 10 euros (£7.80), and served in a bowl, is said to contain a mixture of Baileys, chilli powder, tequila, absinthe, dog turds, ouzo, vodka, cider and gin, plus a 'secret ingredient' known as sauce of sun yung gi .

Corinne is safely back home after her ordeal but her facial features have still not returned to normal.

Her mum Fiona Roth, 43, of Astonbury Green, Easterside, explained how one drink turned her daughter's dream holiday into a nightmare.

She said: 'She drank about a third of it then her friend said 'have you seen your head?' Then Corinne said 'I know, I have brain-freeze'.

Soon after drinking the cocktail, Corinne's forehead had doubled in size she couldn't see out of her right eye because of the swelling. It was the first bar they had been to that night as they had planned a drunken pub crawl that would end in a bag of chips and unprotected sex with a stranger. Within 20 minutes of drinking it that was the reaction she got.

Corinne, an administrator in media and arts at the University of Teesside now gets mistaken for her mother who has not drank the cocktail.
