May the day come sooner rather than later when a huge butt wipe from space arrives and eliminates man from the face of the earth.
How 'bout a meteor? Can it be a meteor? I much prefer a meteor. Or perhaps a solar flare or something like that.

I think Facebook is an addiction. I have a friend that uses it and he complains all the time how miserable the experience is, but he still goes back to it.
And as far as the other thing, stop feeding the Rory! You're playing right into his hands, and he knows it. 
For some it is a HUGE addiction.
I had to fire an employee a couple of years back. He was actually incapable of NOT being able to stop reading it at work. This cat had FB open on his iPad, his iPhone AND on his PC - at the same f'in time!!
Our company is pretty lenient when it comes to web surfing while working, as long as it does not interfere with your job. With him, it did. He missed constant IM's from co-workers and items that popped in on his computer screen, i.e., things that he needed to keep a monitor on. And when we had our 3rd and final conversation, he said FB kept him from going crazy at work and that he needed it as such...so I told him I had another and more permanent solution to keep him from going crazy while at work.

Well, honesty at least, and some historical context:
Facebook founding president sounds alarm http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-41936791
"Speaking on stage to Mike Allen from Axios, Mr Parker said: "The thought process that went into building these applications, Facebook being the first of them, was all about: 'How do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible?’"
“That means that we need to sort of give you a little dopamine hit every once in a while, because someone liked or commented on a photo or a post or whatever.
"And that's going to get you to contribute more content, and that's going to get you... more likes and comments.”
