Despite being an incredibly old man whose teenage years passed before the Flood, Methuselah has decided to sign-up for a Facebook account.
He's thinking of using a goofy headshot on his profile page so that he won't seem so old: probably a picture of himself wearing an Hawaiian shirt and crazy sunglasses that slide down his nose, revealing a comically raised eyebrow beneath an "aw shucks" frown. Perhaps he'll even make the photo black-and-white, to signify his unconventionality.
Alternatively, he might employ an avatar; a cartoon version of his own recognizable features rendered as if he were a character from The Simpsons or South Park. Such semiotic tomfoolery is sure to boost Methuselah's online popularity; after all, everybody who is anybody loves those shows and responds favorably to that variety of visual stimulant.
And besides, let's face it, Methuselah is going to need all the help he can get to find Facebook friends: all his real friends have been dead for centuries.
