The stroke of a belly and the flash of some camera bulbs sent the world abuzz with excitement at the news that former Destiny's Child singer Beyoncé Knowles (right) is pregnant. And what better way to share the joy than to take to Twitter and voice your congratulations. Trumping the death of Bin Laden and the Japanese tsunami, the event raised a world-record breaking 8,868 tweets per second. Although it might not show that we care less about the plight of a country's population during a natural disaster, or the demise of the world's most wanted man – it highlights an irrational excitement at the perhaps predictable impregnation of a woman who has, after all, been married (to Jay-Z) for more than three years.
