This looks like an interesting trivia about the origins of Facebook.
From Naresh Vissa of Minyanville
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg started the site in his Harvard dorm room, though not to make money or get famous. Zuckerberg built several programs while attending high school at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He even had a seven-figure offer from Microsoft (MSFT) upon his high school graduation, but turned it down.
Ben Mezrich chronicled Zuckerberg’s journey in his best-selling novel, The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook -- A tale of sex, money, genius, and betrayal. To Zuckerberg, it was never about money, rather his passions. More than anything else, he wished to get laid.
Zuckerberg should have thousands of friends, but social-networking’s father is far from social. After the woman of his dreams rejected him during his sophomore year, Zuckerberg sought revenge. He stole pictures from Harvard’s database and created Facemash, a site for users to rate girls against farm animals. Within a day, his server crashed due to high traffic, so then-Harvard President and President Obama’s former top economic advisor Lawrence Summers placed him on probation and even threatened expulsion. Zuckerberg’s dopamine levels rising through the roof, Facebook’s genesis was established.
It’s one of the unique moments were sensuality seem to have inspired a monumental productive idea.
