Facebook boss fears a good poking

FACEBOOK founder Mark Zuckerberg has been hiring muscle to ease his fear that he is about to be poked to death.

Apparently Zuckerberg has been getting lots of death threats lately, and according to Radaronline, one in particular relates to him being poked to death.

This phobia has caused him to splash out on a team of bodyguards when he goes to shows, and a security guard outside his office.

The bodyguards, all ready to take that rigorous poking for their boss, if required, were on show when he spoke at the annual Foursquare Conference regarding Facebook's new advertising initiative recently. Fortunately no one was even tickled at the event.

Facebook is not saying anything about the threats. There could be a lot of people queuing up on convenient grassy knolls to poke Zuckerberg.

There are those who feel that he nicked their code to run Facebook and all those advertisers who have not seen any return on investment.

Of course there are just those who think he is a rich, lucky dweeb who deserves a rigorous poking now and again. Then there are the conspiracy pokers who think he was behind September 11, the Iraq war, Blackwater, Whitewater, bathwater, or anything else that conspiracy theorists believe. µ
