Why's everyone trying to answer the question? Only Dominic knows the answer...and right now, he's busy Xeroxing his butt so you'll all have to wait.

You obviously didn't see the documentary "Men In Black." It clearly documents that Elvis is an alien that went home and that Dennis Rodman is an alien as well.

I certainly had nothing to do with it... Nonhuman? Any of your <ahem> collegues working on a file system for Apple Computer Inc.?
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Wait a minute, elvis is a singer, too? I thought elvis was a text editor. I guess the file system and the singer are named after the text editor. Weird.

That's easy.

Elvis is 'The Hillbilly Cat'.
