While playing with Facebook Chat I wondered if it supported emoticons. Turns out it does. But when I tried the >:-) emoticon (a 'devil') and saw it printed as boring text, I wondered, "what smilies does facebook actually support?"
So with the help of Safari and some javascript hacking I present to you a complete list of facebook emoticons.

If possible, an option to disable them in Facebook Chat as well would be great, but one thing at a time, I suppose
