Guys, don't you realize that providing incomplete information in this manner, namely posting insufficiently captioned photos, is exactly the kind of thing that is keeping Tuomas and lex from the kind of aleph-like knowledge they are always striving to achieve?

Googling reveals that Jimmy Saville hosted Top of the Pops. Why is it strange for him to have posed with Elvis?
― jaymc, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:31 (fifteen years ago)
Well, Elvis never did Top of the Pops, having only been in the UK once. Is probably not that strange a photo, but Savile himself is v.v.v. strange, so anything involving him at all has insta-weird overtones.

Was trying to figure out if the other person in the photo with them was also a celebrity: Isabella Rosellini? Freddie Mercury? but came up short.
