Irony manifested


Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had to get a retraining order against a stalker who kept pursuing him on...wait for it.....Facebook. The creator gets tormented by the creation.

Somewhere, Mary Shelley snickers.

Mary Shelley is credited for writing the book "Frankenstein". In the book the creator is killed by his creation.

Fantastic book BTW. For an even better book read: "The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein" by Peter Ackroyd

I cannot reveal more about the latter without spoiling it. But a GREAT twist on the original story.

I say "credited" as there is some debate on this. But i believe she did.
