Hidden Inappropriate Facebook Leak

Facebook leak! Crude language infiltrates facebook programing!

Do you want to see something interesting? Something I sincerely hope just slipped through the Facebook cracks? Some programer's idea of a joke?

Follow these instructions, but be forewarned, some may find the language a bit offensive.

Facebook posts inappropriate language, and Facebook goes ghetto:

1) Log into facebook

2) Change your language to English (pirate)

Go to the very bottom of the facebook page. Click your language at the bottom (i.e. "English (US)")

3) Log out of your facebook account.

(Go up to "Yarr Vessel" in the top right hand corner. Click. Scroll down to "Abandon Ship" at the bottom of the menu that pops up. Click)

4) Search an organization, business, or person you know has a facebook page.

For example: Mark Zuckerberg

(Click Mark's name or use this link:)

http://www.facebook.com/markzuckerberg

5) Like that person, buisness, etc.

(Click the "Arr" with the thumbs up symbol)

6) Since you are logged out, facebook will ask if you want to sign up. Say yes by clicking "Make Yer Mark An' Set Sail"

7) Voila! There you have it folks! The Facebook error! The Facebook fail! The Facebook leak! Does Facebook let this slip through the cracks, or does it just think it's gangster friendly and instead comes out sounding racist? A screen shot is shown here for your convenience.

Facebook has grown into a world wide organization. It has millions of users logging in and connecting all around the globe. I know that the site was started by college students, but don't you think that once the organization grew as it did, they would realize that they should be a bit more professional? This isn't just some college social organization anymore. This is a global social network, where people of all different ethnicities, countries, ages, etc. come together to communicate. What is Facebook trying to communicate with this kind of language?

How could Facebook let this slip through the cracks?

What are your thoughts?

Eclipse

Lunar Eclipse tonight!

I'm up with a hot mug of cocoa, wishing that Ohio wasn't clouded over for this night of nights.

I've been going out and checking to see if just maybe I can see the moon through the clouds...but so far it's been only a faint glow detectable.

I'm chatting online with Kris. He's off on the boat, and is now in Jupiter, FL, where he has a clear sky and a wonderful veiwing of the whole thing. I am so jealous!

Update at 2:16am, EST:

I saw the moon for just a bit! It looked like a waning crescent, over

half of it is covered by the Earth's shadow.

I really wish I could see the moon as it takes on it's orangey glow as is completely covered by the Earth's umbra....

Lucky for me, lunar eclipses are more common than solar, so there is still a good chance that I will be in a place with clear skies for the next one. Cross your fingers for me!

Update 2:27am, EST:

It's definitely darker out there! Kris says the moon is about 7/8 covered.

Update 2:38 am, EST:

Kris says it's covered up! I went out and stared at the spot in the sky I had last seen the moon in as Kris narrated it being covered. "Only the tiniest little sliver left.....there! All covered!"

A neighbor stood outside his apartment a little ways down from me. We smiled at

eachother, not daring to disturb the peaceful silence of the night. We both knew why the other was there, even though we could not actually see the event unfold. As Kris confirmed the total eclipse, I said aloud for the both of us "It's all covered."

Update 2:46 am, EST:

Well, the peak of the eclipse is at about 3am...but I think I am off to bed soon. My hot cocoa is getting cold, and I did get to see just a glimpse of the eclipse.

And so I say...

Goodnight moon!
