LIFE, SEX and DICK

• The cool Facebook status

Now becoming more and more popular , the ‘cool’ Facebook status update is one which includes any number of symbols or special characters which you can find by pressing secret key combinations on your number pad or keyboard. When people see these Facebook statuses they think ‘wow … cool … how can I do that?’ and then they forget all about it and go back to work …

Example: Michael Jackson’s Life Story using emoticons:☻ – born - became ♔ of pop – died - ☺

• The funny Facebook status

Since Facebook removed the necessity to include your own name in status updates , more and more jokes and one-liners have started appearing inside the the wall feed messages .. These range from the rude , to the crude , to the hilarious.

Example: Why don’t aliens eat clowns? Because they taste funny.

• The philosophical Facebook status

Facebook is hugely popular with College and University students across the world , and if there is one thing that students like (except for getting wildly drunk and experimenting with prescription medication) it is pretending that they are philosophers .. What better way to make people think your mind is capable of individual thought than by quoting someone who’s been dead for 300 years? Exactly ..

Example: A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two watches is never quite sure. ~Lee Segall

• The witty Facebook status

Because of the limited space in the Facebook status update box, witty puns or phrases have become increasingly popular .. Short , to the point and can make people laugh (and give people something to tell their friends in the office) …

Example: “If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?”

• The romantic Facebook status

As Facebook becomes more a tool used for global communication and keeping people in touch , more and more people are using it to chat with family and friends around the globe .. No communication application would be complete without soppy , romantic status updates from lovers who are pining for each other from a distance of 10000 miles …

Example: One word frees us / Of all the weight and pain in life / That word is Love ~ Socrates

So , there you have them – cool .. funny .. witty .. philosophical and romantic … Which one are you? Don’t lie now .. be honest!
