Student Writes "Something About Yourself" in Facebook's "Write Something About Yourself" Box

Published Friday, December 3rd, 2010

George Jennings '12 has done it again. With the characteristic biting wit that has become his trademark, Jennings once more has caused a veritable uproar on popular social networking site Facebook.

"I was just sitting in my room Friday night when inspiration struck me like an epiphany," he gushed online soon after changing the "Write something about yourself" box on his profile page to read "something about yourself." "The simple grandeur of it didn't even fully register with me until after the fact."

Jennings' recent status update urging readers to "Check out my profile!" has garnered a record thousand "likes" in just days. Observers have noted that this even blows his previous record set by mind-bendingly deep status "George Jennings is George Jennings" out of the water.

Jennings' accomplishment will be memorialized forever on the Wikipedia page entitled "Humor," in which the story of his success dominates the section entitled "When you take things literally and it gets all meta."
