Brooklynite Zack Klein claims that "an employee close to the deal" — translation: somebody was drunk — told him the church San Franciscans love to hate "made an unsolicited bid to acquire Facebook." The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was estimated in 1997 to have $25 to $30 billion in assets and a $5 billion annual revenue stream, making a Facebook buy-in a possibility. True? Maybe. Fodder for lunch discussion all over the Bay Area? Definitely. (Photo by AP/Douglas C. Pizac)
