How to break the 5000 friends limit on Facebook?

Just a thought, but what if you already got 5000 "friends" on FB, and still wanted more, how to break the limit?

You Cant But the People that send you a friend request will immediately be following you

Facebook has a limit of 5000 friends. If you see someone with more it simply is a bug in the system.

Frankly, I don’t even see the point of having or being in need for more than 5000 friends.

1 month = 720 hours, 43200 minutes
6 hours sleep per day = 10800 minutes per month
32400 / 5000 = 6,48 minutes per Friend per month

it's possible actually, but it's not something you would want to do anyways

and it's nothing you actually have control over - the way it works is you have 5000 friends, then lets say 100 of your friends deactivate their account, which makes it appear as if you have 4900, so then facebook lets you add another 100, and then those 100 that deactivated their account reactivate their accounts, so you end up with 5100

again tho, it's completely pointless to want to do this

I've never even heard of a Facebook friend limit.
