Searching for '743264506' reveals that it is actually quite an old trick. And the poor chap whose facebook profile number it is doesn't seem to be a geek so he probably didn't invent it
Sure you could. But do a google search on this one and compare it with a google search for a random number of similar length. Besides you can see from the search that it is this number that is used quite often with this trick
I was just saying that it's interesting that this number has such a history. I didn't expect it. And from your first reply it seems you didn't either. It is a profile ID not a random number and it has been used multiple times for this exact trick
