How appropriate that, for our first foray into the world of the weird, we run into Elvis Presley. As described on
Mysterytopia and the
Daily Mail, an 1800-year old bust (called an acroterion) and meant as an ornament to a sarcophagus, , has recently come up for auction. The funny thing is, this acroterion bears a striking similarity to the King of Rock and Roll (picture nabbed from the Daily Mail story, linked above):

More importantly, this statue definitively proves the unique importance of the pompadour, and its impact on human culture.
