BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE!

The letters in ELVIS also spell: "Lives", "Evils", and "Viles".

The letters in JESUS don't spell much of anything else. But then, neither do the letters in PRESLEY.

However, JESUS CHRIST does transmogrify to: "Chess Jurist", "Rich Justess" (close enough), "Sterjc Sushi" (Czech fingerfood), "Such Sister J" (a possible `friend' of Elvis??), and "Such jest, Sir!"

Further, ELVIS PRESLEY will also spell: "Less Vile Prey", "Silly Vespere", "Peerless Vily", and "Riply's Sleeve" (Believe It or Not!)

Moreover, "Christmas" has the same number of letters as "Graceland". And the three letters shared in common, spell both "arc" and "car".

Lastly - and this is an Internet Exclusive - JESUS and ELVIS were never both seen in the same place at the same time.

It is left to the Reader to make the obvious connection.
