Myself? I wouldn't worry about paying them.
I would simply allow their models to pleasure themselves with my . . .

Looks like we all made some jobless uni-voter jealous.

Are you saying you'd do some pro-bono work for them?

And they have contacted me in the past. Although I have good job security in the current job.

PHP ??? 
No, Just kidding...
I would like to work for myself (which I was doing couple of years back), and as a backup plan: Microsoft.

It's not all PHP at FB. They've done some interesting stuff with C++, if that is your thing.

Yes, They have converted some PHP code to C++ for speed up things...also that converter they have made is also open source.
I am not against the PHP, it is proven now. Facebook with 500 mil users and 60k servers (that more than eBay) is using PHP without any problem. but the syntax style will give me headache. also it is interpreted so I cannot sell my stuff easily (not in India, otherwise you just sell one copy and everyone gets it, it has to be compiled with Obfuscation).
Every time I looked at your profile, you are in different country...

Facebook is much more than just a PHP website. They don't store and process billions of image files with PHP and MySQL.
Also they didn't just convert some PHP to C++. They wrote a serious converter that takes PHP and writes C++ which is then compiled.
There is Objective C, C++, Java, Ruby, JavaScript, Python and more. I wouldn't bet against there being some Scala in there. Not sure if they use any Microsoft languages or frameworks outside of client libraries though.
They made Cassandra, Varnish and other projects. Check out their github page github.com/facebook.
p.s. I'm no fan of Facebook the service but they are a serious engineering outfit with some impressive technology behind them.

You can bytecode compile it very much like how ASP.NET compiles down to IL. It's just generally not free to do so, as such most people don't.
