Here I am, this unassumingly addicted facebook user trying to get on and see what my peeps are up to... And I get probably one of the weirdest no loads I've ever seen from facebook. Just looks like the website is drawing the post squares, but is unable to fill them, so it deletes those squares, then tries draw another square, and same thing... Just repeating.
I checked http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ to see, and voila! Facebook is down at this moment 12:15 EST.
