DO YOU?'" @alqaeda: "#facebook is down. Not sure if we did that, but we should claim credit anyway. Hitting the infidels where it hurts, etc." @OPB: "BREAKING NEWS: Facebook is down. Worker productivity rises. U.S. climbs out of recession." @Lord_Voldemort7: "I shut down facebook. That'll teach The Social Network for trying to steal attention from the Deathly Hallows Trailer. Take that, Zuckerberg"
