The Puzzling Giraffes of Facebook

Once Facebook was once a site where you tried to dodge Farmville requests and avoid being stalked by the girl you never like from high school, but now an entirely different animal has migrated into your news feed...giraffes.

The giraffe symbolizes a scarlet letter of sorts for those of you who are not so hot at solving riddles. Because if you give the wrong answer to these viral riddles sweeping the social network site, then your profile picture gets replaced with a giraffe.

For those of you who are curious and have yet to encounter this phenomenon , The riddle is as follows... three in the morning, the doorbell rings. You wake up to unexpected visitors, its your parent , who have shown up for breakfast. You have strawberry jam honey, wine and cheese , what is the first thing you open?

Over a billion Facebook users are in debate over the answer, though the consensus seems to be their are two acceptable ones . Some are growing as tired of this as they did Farmville, while others are changing their profile picture to a giraffe because they think its funny.

I will give you the two answers in debate, which will spare you from having to change your picture, but before I do take this for consideration. If you are emotionally invested in any element of Facebook and are not in high school, then maybe you need to look at what are  you trying to get out of social media. Scientist are now proving the little pings of acceptance and attention social media gives us , when we get like or commented on can be addictive. Do you feel you will get more of these by changing your profile picture to a giraffe?

People who take social media too seriously , should look at what they are investing into the relationships with themselves and if they are getting more Facebook than face time with their friends. Facebook and sites like create the illusion you are not isolated in front of your computer. So get out and go see a real giraffe at the zoo. Sure they smell but that's part of the real, world what you are missing out on in front of your computer, or if you are in the real world and reading this on your iPhone rather than talking to your friend seated across from you, put down your phone.       


OK its eyes and door, eyes would come before door unless, you were already up, which there are people hunting for that like fix from Facebook at three in the morning, like drug users might be scouring the carpet to find remnants of a drug to smoke.
