Answer a series of forehead-slapping anecdotal factoids. It's up to you to weigh each fact in each anecdotal factoid. They're tricky. One might seem like total B.S. until it's revealed to be strangely and disturbingly "True." Another anecdotal factoid might seem to contain all solid and verifiable facts until it's revealed to be yet one more big fat garden variety "Bald-Faced Lie." And here's the trickiest part: an anecdotal factoid might even be "Half-True"; in other words, a mishmosh of truths and bald-faced lies, where you don't know where one ends and the other begins, much like the usual slop served by Madison Avenue, Washington D.C., and the Internet in its entirety.

Decide for yourself, and mark "T" for "Truth", "F" for "Bald-Faced Lie" or "TF" for "Half-Truth" in the blank slot next to each factoid.

The answers will be revealed on the next page.

1) __ The multiple rooms at the posh "Graceland Suite" at Graceland's Heartbreak Hotel are scaled-down versions of rooms in Graceland including Elvis's "jungle room" den, TV room, living room, and billiards room.

2) __ 85% of Graceland is currently owned by "American Idol" co-creator and panelist Simon Cowell.

3) __ Jesse Garon Presley, Elvis's stillborn identical twin brother is buried in the crypt next to Elvis at Graceland's Memorial Garden.

4) __ From 1998 to 1999, Elvis's daughter Lisa Marie closed Graceland to tourists after deciding to move into the mansion full-time with then husband, actor Nicholas Cage. Other than Graceland's curator, Cage was the only non-family member allowed inside the mansion's upstairs bedrooms.

5) __ In 1976, a very drunk Jerry Lee Lewis was arrested outside Graceland. At the time, he was waving around and gun and demanding to see Elvis.
