In 1977, at the time of Elvis Presley’s death, there were 170 Elvis impersonators worldwide.

In 2000, there were 85,000 Elvis impersonators.

At this rate of growth, statisticians predicted that by 2019, Elvis impersonators would make up 1/3 of the world’s population.

That’s false, in 2000 there was 84,999. Elvis faked his own death to get a piece of the impersonator action.
