Till death do us part (or you change your Facebook status, what ever comes first!)

A British man is being prosecuted for killing his wife over her facebook profile.  Why?  After living apart for a month, the wife changed her status from married to single.  The husband was enraged when he saw the status change in his news feed and drove up to his wife’s house where he brutally stabbed her to death.

For someone who constantly updates their facebook status, this is scary! What if you’re in the midst of accepting random friend requests and you inadvertently edit your profile?  Can I get shot because I aroused controversy over a political subject in my status update?

Or is it possible that some day, I’ll be pushed over my own “wall”?
