The former, but the creepier part about the latter was that our fb communication was pretty limited and we never listed ourselves in a relationship.

I read on some conspiracy theory blog that corporations are tapping into the microphones on people's devices to use what they converse about to gather targeted advertising data. It all sounds like rubbish to me, but in light of your story here, maybe for once the conspiracy nuts are on to something...

Did the reminder explicitly call her your girlfriend? Is she still your friend on Facebook? If the answers are no and yes, then FB just does that automatically when some of your FB friends has a birthday.

Good news is I have a decent enough chance of catching a B due to the help of one nice bloke who knew Math...Yay?

I made a snarky comment on Facebook, clearly marked it with a /sarcasm tag, and it still went so far over the target's head that they hit the like button. What is the world coming to when you have to drop down to nothing more complex than "FU!!!" when you want to insult someone?

It's 2105. The forests of Southeast Asia were completely removed 50 years ago. How the hell is the orangutan still not extinct?
