Facebook Knows When You'll Get Dumped
Pickens writes "Cnet reports that according to a graphic making the rounds online that uses Facebook status updates to chart what time of year people are splitting up, there are three big spikes on the calendar for breakups — just after Valentine's Day, just before spring break and two weeks before Christmas. British journalist and graphic designer David McCandless, who specializes in showcasing data in visual ways, compiled the chart after scraping 10,000 Facebook status updates for the phrases 'breakup' and 'broken up.' 'Might I suggest that, immediately after Valentine's, some women might be casting men from their sight, appalled that their lovers could think of nothing more romantic than roses from the supermarket and dinner at Outback Steakhouse,' writes Chris Matyszczyk. 'Continuing with this obviously accurate analysis, perhaps it's men who do more of the dumping just before spring break, as for some —however unfairly — their main concern lies in how their girl will look on the beach.'"
I read slashdot... I dont have to worry about this.
right after I take my girlfriend back to my place and she sees my extensive collection of hand-painted D&D figurines.
Oh, sure they do.
Jane heard it from Wanda who read it on Judy's Facebook page that according to Robert who spoke with Susie, you're SO getting dumped this weekend. Totally.

Any woman who doesn't appreciate the fine cuisine of an Outback Steakhouse isn't worth a man's time, anyhow. The ambiance and food quality are second only to Olive Garden.
Somebody doesn't know how a cervix works, but I suppose that's par for the course.
I support the Slashcott and will not be reading or commenting from 2/10/14 to 2/17/14. Beta is steaming pile of dog shit

Im more appalled at my attempts to pronounce that last name
Miller Lite tastes like water that's somehow managed to rot.
No, I don’t think so. If my hand had a problem, it’d tell me. Unlike a girlfriend.
Alexander Peter Kristopeit bought his basement from his mommy for one dollar.
As the gentleman said to the feminist: "I didn't open the door for you because you're a woman. I opened the door for you because I am a man."
This only demonstrates that there are enough selfish, sociopathic creeps out there (of both sexes), to shape behavioral bell-curves for entire populations.
No surprise there.
Anybody here ever snap awake with a sudden wave of panic to the fact that you're locked up in a cage packed full of mindless, wild animals masquerading as human and there's not a damned thing you can do about it other than hope you can distract them long enough to avoid getting your jugular ripped open with their zombie fangs? Yes? Then you probably don't fit into that above-mentioned bell-curve.

Just to screw with Facebook's statistics, my wife changes her "in a relationship with..." person every day.
At least, she says it's just to mess with Facebook...

I give up on debugging. From now on, SIGSEGV is a feature.
I knew when my ex created an event called "fuck off" and invited me to it.
