Like so many millions of people, I'm on Facebook and yes, it's totally addicting. Like all fads or diseases, there is a classic infection curve. Slate has a great story of one of the mini-fads within Facebook - The 25 Random Things.
The graph shows the growth of 25 Random Things in the facebook world. With my low, (relatively) unhip, and (for the most part) trusted friend count, I didn't get hit up to do my own until February 10 well after the epidemic had begun to peter out.
I'm hoping that my unsociability in the real world (reflected by my paltry Facebook friend total) will save me when ebola or bird flu goes airborne, or people start turning into zombies.
I'll be up in the hills with a shotgun and MRE's by that time.
*Note to self. Find out where to get shotgun, how to load shotgun, how to fire shotgun, research zombie physiology to exploit weaknesses. Don't forget can opener for MRE's. And MRE's. Bug spray. Sunblock. Couple books. Definitely a guitar....

I'm going to make you a friend.
And you don't need a can opener to eat MREs. They come in plastic bags that you can tear with your teeth.
Everyone knows that they most effective way to deal with a zombie is the classic 'head-shot'. Also, they can't climb... so get into a two story house and destroy the stairs behind you. Thanks to the 'zombie survival guide' by Max Brooks. sure.. you may be laughing now, but THEY'RE COMING!!
