ELVIS' WEIGHT

Hunka-Hunka,
how much
would Elvis weigh
on other planets?
For those
who've contemplated
that question
(and quite frankly,
who hasn't?)
consider the
"Elvis on Other Planets Weight Chart".
The King
weighed
255 pounds
during
the last weeks
of his life
in 1977.
That weight
would have
changed
greatly
if
Elvis
had been
elsewhere
in the
Solar System
(and according to
the
Weekly World News,
he's been spotted
on Mars).
Here's the cosmic poundage:
The Sun -- 7,140 pounds
Mercury -- 97 pounds
Venus -- 232 pounds
The Moon -- 43 pounds
Mars -- 97 pounds
Jupiter -- 648 pounds
Saturn -- 275 pounds
Uranus -- 232 pounds
Neptune -- 303 pounds
Pluto -- 13 pounds
