Spend any time surfing the Web and you are bound to find stories that are just too bizarre to be true. Here's a sampling, edited for length. And remember, just because it's online doesn't mean it's true!

From wyomingnews.com: Elvis' hair sells for $15K at Chicago auction

A clump of hair believed to have been trimmed from Elvis Presley's head when he joined the Army in 1958 sold for $15,000 at a Chicago auction house.

Also among the 200 Elvis-related items up for grabs at the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in Chicago was a shirt that once belonged to the King, which sold for $52,000.

The buyer of the hair paid $15,000, plus an additional $3,300 in auction house fees.

Other items on offer included scarves, photos from the reception of Presley's 1967 wedding to Priscilla, Christmas cards he sent and lots of records.

Elvis dolls and Elvis Pez dispensers numbered among the memorabilia. All items had belonged to the late Gary Pepper, who ran a fan club and was a friend.

Pepper, who had cerebral palsy, died in 1980.

From news.aol.com: Man busted for being naked at home

A Virginia man was busted for indecent exposure after he was caught in the buff, in his own home, alone.

Eric Williamson, 29, got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to the kitchen to make some coffee. He was naked, but he was alone in the Springfield house, so he didn't think it mattered. Wrong.

A woman and a 7-year-old boy were cutting through Williamson's front yard from a nearby path, according to WTTG-TV, Channel 5 in Washington. Through his front window, they saw Williamson having coffee in his birthday suit. Fairfax County police showed up and arrested him.

Williamson said he had no idea anyone could see him, but police said they believed he wanted to be seen by the public, said WTTG, a Fox station.

If convicted, Williamson could face one year in jail and a $2,000 fine. He plans to fight the charge.

From duluthsuperior.com: Man pleads guilty to DUI in motorized La-Z-Boy

A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk.

A criminal complaint said 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.

Prosecutors said Anderson's blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. He was not seriously injured. Police said the chair was powered by a converted lawnmower and had a stereo and cup holders.
