It all started with a simple Facebook update | Eastern North Carolina Now

Hint: Never try to update Facebook from an IPad or IPhone.

    Last night I was reviewing friends and family updates on Facebook and noticed that one had just gotten married. After looking at their profile, I decided to look at my own profile. Normally I put very little in the about section but I did notice that I had no reference to marital status. I decided to update the entry.

    Imagine my surprise when I checked Facebook on the iPhone this morning and noticed that I had multiple comments congratulating me on my recent marriage. There were some Question marks and some private messages asking what I was doing.

    Below is a highly edited summary as it appeared before I could correct the post and add the correct date. It also included one from my boss who took it in good humor. I plan to let it ride for a while then delete the whole thread but I am told it will forever float in hyperspace and in some galaxy far away, long into the future some being in search of life on earth may stumble on this error and determine there is none here. It may have something to do with Professor Emmett Brown's space time continuum.
