This is a CSS sprite glitch - I am able to produce almost the exact same effect (with the Twitter icon, in place of the Facebook icon) if I remove the horizontal offset for that particular element.

(If you're not familiar with CSS sprites, they are a technique used to reduce the number of HTTP requests made on any given page load by combining many images into one large image file on a grid, then simply changing which portion of that large image is shown. Making more short HTTP requests has more overhead than transferring a larger file in a long request)

If this happens again, please do let us know. I expect it was simply a one-time page load guffaw.
