    Is that why FB was giving me Gray’s Anatomy and Oregon Trail references? I was so very confused yesterday! You have brought order back to my life, Jordan. Much thanks.

    P.S.

    Happy Birthday! :)

    Thanks Lisa. Don’t worry, you weren’t the only one.

    I was confused at first and thought that a friend of mine named Meredith had managed to make it say that.

    One of my friends’ blurred statuses on that screen asked ‘what is WITH Facebook today?!’

    I thought FB finally got a sense of humor. I have a friend Merrdith who breaks up with her boyfriend every other day and I thought FB was adding a little social commentary. Heh.

    Wouldn’t clarify it as social search but the most note worthy of April fool pranks was Matt Cutt’s blog getting hacked. He got me I’ll admit.
