ahh facebook...

Dearly beloved, I must confess, facebook is both a love and a hate of mine.

I mean, where else can you send flowers to, throw a sheep at, or cheer for your friends? And where else can you spend 10 consecutive hours "friending" people, without even talking to them? Where else does a more comprehensive social networking tool (that's not government classified) exist? And yes, those picture sharing moments... priceless. Or, if you prefer the priced version, facebook also provides that for mere dollars and cents...

Yet, you know that facebook has reached a new level, when it teaches you vocabulary words previously used only on the GRE and other graduate equivalent tests.

Case in point: to defenestrate someone via superpoke.

Never before have I met such a large number of people who know what that incredibly complicated and long word means. Why? Simple. Facebook. :-) Redemption? Perhaps.

By the way, to defenestrate, for those non-facebook savvy, means "to throw out a window." Ah yes, facebook, I knew that you had some educational purpose. :-)
