The Demise of Facebook in March this Year

Maria — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 10:15:55 +0000

PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful.

“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”

Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.

“After March 15th the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back after Facebook goes out of business.”

Zuckerberg said the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.

“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”

Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.

“What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. “My life revolves around it. I’m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?”

However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief.

“I’m glad the Facebook nightmare is over,” said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. “Now my teenager’s face won’t be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conversation with her.”

Those in the financial industry are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9 billion.

But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He said he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe.

“I don’t care about the money,” said Zuckerberg. “I just want my old life back.”

The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.

Note: It’s all a joke!! Ha! Ha! I got you all! Fake news anyway!!! -PC

A wise Cherokee Legend

sc — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:27:07 +0000

Have come heard of the Cherokee Indian youth Passage of rite?

When he reach of age his father will take him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone to sit on a stump. He is required to linger on a stump the entire night and must not remove the blindfold until the morning sun rays shines through it. One rule he has to abide that he must not cry out for help.

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.

He cannot even talk to the other boys of this experience, as each lad must reach manhood on his own.

During his trial in the night he is naturally petrified as he can hear all sorts of noises. Wild beasts must surely be nearby. Maybe even some human might do him harm. Night winds blew the grass and earth, and even shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. This is the only way he could become a man!

After a terrifying night, the sun came out in the morning and he removed his blindfold.

To his surprise he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him all night. Watching and protecting his son from harm the entire duration of his trial.

In life we, too, are never alone.

Even when we don’t realize it, God is always looking after us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.

Remembering the Less Fortunate

Consider ourselves more blessed.

Take a good look at them.

If you think your salary is low, how about her?..

If you think you don’t have many friends, look at this man…

When you feel like giving up, think of this man…

If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

If you complain about your transport system, how about theirs…

If your society is unfair to you, how about her?

German Robin Hood Banker

A Robin Hood in real life?

You gotta be kidding me right? Apparently not….

In Germany, a bank employee secretly transferred money from rich to poor clients.

Sadly the 62-year old woman was given a 22-month prison term for this act of kindness. She could have faced a 4-year sentence, but the court was being nice because she confessed immediately and did not profit personally.

Between December 2003 and February 2005, the German ‘Robin Hood Banker’ moved some €7.6 million in 117 transfers.

She did not take any money for herself. Her only motive was to prevent poorer clients from seeing their accounts closed. And get this… the woman is now reimbursing the millions lost by the bank, reportedly from a small retirement pension!

How about the ride? Is it better than sitting on a horse? Apparently it’s pretty fantastic…

Just imagine…
1. No air valves
2. No pumping air
3. No flat tyres

Now some bad news for the cops…. stinger spikes won’t work on these special tyres.
