LAST MONTH, the CIA joined Twitter with the perfect first tweet.

And they’ve been putting in a strong performance since then. Yesterday, the world’s most powerful secret intelligence service noticed that it was their one-month anniversary on the social network.

So naturally enough, they offered to answer questions from Twitter’s punters.

Thanks for making our first month on @Twitter great! Today we take 10 mins to answer 5 of the top questions you’ve asked. #twitterversary

There was a strong start.

No, we don’t know your password, so we can’t send it to you. #sorrynotsorry #twitterversary

Then there were a couple of quite boring questions. And then things got good again, when the entire CIA offered to take a selfie with Ellen DeGeneres:

Sorry for not following you back @TheEllenShow. But if you visit us maybe we can take a selfie? #twitterversary

And finally, they cleared up something for everyone.

No, we don’t know where Tupac is. #twitterversary

Elvis’ whereabouts, however, remain a mystery.
