re: BRadmin "Facebook Username Easter Egg?

facebook.com/TheMostInterestingManAlive directs to your FB homepage."

facebook.com/TheMostInterestingWomanAlive, on the other hand, returns Page not Found. This all works out ok for me, but my girlfriend finds it all a bit perplexing.

Some woman needs to take that :)

I considered taking an interesting/popular name, but realising that a whole heap of my private info is sitting on facebook, I'd do better not to attract attention.

Redirecting to home.php is the default behavior when accessing objects on Facebook that have been deleted.

This happens with pages, apps, groups, etc. I'm not surprised it happens with usernames, too.

How was this potential easter egg discovered?
BRadmin
Honestly, was just trying to see if it was available.

This is just someone who has opted to keep their profile out of search listings.

If you aren't friends with them, or your friend isn't a friend of theirs, it just redirects you back to the homepage.
