15. Facebook Can Be Viewed In More Than 60 Languages... Including Pirate And "English Upside Down"
Facebook users can view their account in more than 60 languages, including the normal English (UK), English (US), French, German and even Azerbaijani - but there are some extremely bizarre languages too. For example, Facebook users can decide to have their entire Facebook in "English Upside Down" - which does exactly as it says on the tin, with all the words being flipped upside down. More bizarre, however, is that "Pirate" is a language of choice - meaning phrases such as "yeee harrrr" and "shiver me timbers" appear everywhere. Strange but true...
