So on the 6th February 2010, Facebook celebrated their 6th birthday!!
And the site still shows no sign of slowing down…
Last year, before Facebook’s 5th birthday, Mark Zuckerberg wrote:
“Tomorrow is Facebook’s 5th birthday. This is a happy occasion for Facebook, but much more significant to the Facebook team is the fact that over 150 million people around the world are using Facebook to connect with the people in their lives. Facebook was founded in 2004 to give people the tools to engage and understand the world around them. We are glad and humbled that so many people are using Facebook in this way.”
I wonder if he made a birthday wish for an extra 250 million facebook users in 2009, cos if he did, then his wish came true..
This year Mark said:
“Today we’re celebrating our sixth birthday, and this week there will be 400 million people on Facebook. Just one year ago we served less than half as many people, and thanks to you we’ve made great progress over the last year towards making the world more open and connected.”
Happy Birthday Facebook!

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Monopoly, Hasbro will be launching a circular version of the board game.
According to Hasbro, the circular monopoly was one of the initial concepts for the board game.
The rules of the game stays the same, but the shape was not the only change, in this new monopoly, you don’t have to worry about losing your money when you go take a leak… that’s because there is no more cash, instead, each player is given a chip and pin credit card… and oh by the way… nobody plays the banker… there is a central console that does all the banking…
would you buy another monopoly to add to what you already have?
(The pictures are from a toy fair… whats funny is the “No Taking Picture” sign on the picture…)

Talk about the most effective way to quit smoking!
Andi Susanto (31), an Indonesian working as a security guard, lost 6 of his teeth and received 51 stitches around his lips after the cigarette that he was smoking exploded! His fiancée explained that they were going to get married soon, and now she wants Andi to get a new set of tooth implant before they do! She added that the doctors might remove 2 more tooth due to fractures…
Andi then said that he will NEVER smoke again!
The cigarette manufacturer is as confused as anyone else about the incident.… so just a warning to all you smokers out there.. they might add a new warning on the label… “Warning, cigarette might cause loss of tooth due to unexpected explosion!”
