A “dislike” option exists. You can change your language choice to “pirate.” We’ve all heard the story about Facebook starting in a Harvard dorm room, but there are tons of cool features and facts that most people still don’t know about everyone's favorite social network.

Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has called the upcoming Social Network movie “fiction,” but here are a few confirmed facts that you can have some fun with:
-
1. It’s possible to add a dislike option to your own status updates. You can also add “love,” “hate,” or even “LOLs” By adding the Status Magic app.
2. Up until 2007, there was an image of a man’s face on the Facebook homepage. That guy was Al Pacino. “Wirehog” was their former file-sharing feature.
3. The language options include “upside down English” and “pirate.” They won’t translate your status updates but you can do it yourself with sites like typeupsidedown.com.
4. The link http://facebook.com/profile.php?=73322363 leads anyone who’s signed in to their own profile. Don’t be too mean.
5. If you ever use Facebook chat, type “:putnam:” then press enter and see what happens.
6. As of last week, there are over 500 million people on Facebook. If Facebook were it’s own country, it would be the 3rd largest in the world. If China didn’t block the site, you can bet it’d be much larger.
7. Facebook makes money through advertising and their value comes from the data each user provides. Based on their stock value, each of us is worth about $50 to them.
