'The number of Elvis Presley impersonators has reached an all-time record high – there are now at least 85,000 Elvis’s around the world, compared to only 170 in 1957 when he died. At this rate of growth, experts predict that by 2019 Elvis impersonators will make up a third of the world population.’

If I was paying attention when I watched those videos re: calculating the Earth's carrying capacity the math would suggest that the # of Elvis impersonators has doubled approximately 9 times over the past 60 years - doubling every 6.7 years. Thus, around 2022 there would be 170,000 Elvis impersonators if the growth rate is constant.
To reach 1/3 of the world population in the next three years you would need double 85,000 15 times over 36 months...interesting to conceive of, but ultimately just shoddy math.

And I've heard they're attracted to large stockpiles of peanut butter. So probably best to lock that stuff away with your ammo
