A security glitch in Facebook allowed users to watch Zuckerberg’s private pictures, including a few with his girlfriend. The methods to exploit the serious security vulnerability, which allowed anyone to see photos on the platform even if their security settings were set to private, was posted online on the Bodybuilding.com web forum.

The images don’t mean anything scandalous, just photos that Zuckerberg chose to be private, for his own reasons. Among fourteen images shared with a photo site there were images of Zuckerberg holding what seems to be a dead chicken, Zuckerberg at home with friends, and distributing Halloween candy to kids.

Facebook users could look at private photographs by reporting a profile picture as "Inappropriate"; this allowed them to see other photographs on display, such as those of Zuckerberg, reported the Daily Mail. According to Facebook, which said the bug was temporary and had been fixed, the glitch in the Web site's photo-reporting tool allowed members to access users' pictures irrespective of privacy settings.

At first glance, it might not seem as though gamers and members of the military have much in common. Probably not on second glance either. But they do have one thing in common – a hunger for challenge and achievements. In gamers this manifests as a compulsion to complete 100% of a game’s content (even beyond just beating the game), but in the military it means gaining as many medals, qualifications, and ribbons as possible, along with increasing one’s rank.

Filipino Man Gets Plastic Surgery To Look Like Superman

2011-10-09T11:44:00.000-07:00

Herbert Chavez, a 35-year old Filipino pageant trainer, has since 1995 undergone a whole host of surgeries to make him more closely resemble the Man of Steel. According to a news report from ABS-CBN News out of the Philippines, he has admitted to a nose job, chin augmentation for that iconic cleft, silicone lip injections and, of course, thigh implants.

The news report speculates that he has Body Dysmorphic Disorder, which makes him compulsively undergo plastic surgery. Whether or not that's true, he is clearly obsessed with the man of steel; a peek inside his home reveals a shrine to the hero, with everything from bedding to wall decorations to actual, larger than life statues of the hero taking up an entire room.

The video is pretty ridiculous. The best part may be when it zooms in on every “surgically enhanced” part of his body step by step (chin, nose, cheeks) before pausing on his crotch just long enough for the viewer to think “Waaaaaaait.” They then quickly zoom in on his thigh.

Willow The Cat Reunited With Family After 5 Years

2011-09-28T10:47:00.000-07:00

Five years after she went missing from her Colorado home, Willow the cat has been reunited with her owners in New York City. How the calico cat ended up on a Manhattan street remains a mystery. But three children and their parents are certainly glad that she'll be headed home with them.

Willow disappeared when a contractor left the front door ajar during a home renovation project five years ago. The family sent out frantic online messages and put up posters around their home in Broomfield. But when Willow didn't return, they assumed the petite 2-year-old had been eaten by a coyote.

But it turns out Willow was never on the menu. On Sept. 14, a man brought her to Animal Care & Control in New York, saying he had found her on East 20th Street. A quick scan identified a microchip implanted when she was a kitten. The chip contained a code linked to a database of owner information. Despite moving from Broomfield to Boulder, the Squires had updated their information, making it easy for authorities to contact them.
