Cityville, Pokerstars & Osama bin Laden

I wonder if from time to time Osama bin laden or some of his followers play a few hands of Texas Hold'em on Pokerstars. com? (Do C.I.A operatives use agency slush funds to play?) Does North Korea's Kim Jong Il or any of his cadre participate in Zynga's Farmville? Would it be hopeful that they did? Or would it be more hopeful that the popularity of these two social network sites would gradully decline in popularity to be replaced with a renewed interest in real world?

P.S. The German stock exchange has made a $25 billion dollar for the New York Stock Exchange. That price is about half of the valuation that Goldman Sachs placed on Facebook! Should Facebook make a counter offer to the NYSE or should Facebook be a short sale on its stock offering debut?
