Possible to have a dead pixel on your sensor?

Hey everyone... I was just wondering if my title was possible? It looks like there is one pixel that comes out green in most of my shots that have a background where it's able to show up. I'm shooting a K100D. I have no idea if it's possible, but I'd like to know if it is. I looked at some of my first shots I took and it appears that they have it as well, so it's not something recent (although I did get the camera just about 2 months ago). I'd appreciate your input.

Hmm... pretty unfortunate, as I'm leaving for Korea in two weeks from today. I'll see if they can't cross ship. Thanks fuzzy :)

Hmmm... I'm not sure if a cross ship would work for a DSLR, but you can try. I'm not sure how Pentax service is, but if it's anything like Canon it'll be quick. If it's like Sigma service, you're kinda screwed.
