Well, to me the formatting then looks a bit ugly. :-)

I also tried it again with a document created with Text Wrangler under
OS X, clear signed it and copy and pasted the file in Facebook.

But when importing back and verifying it i get:

gpg: invalid armor header: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
adipiscing\n gpg: invalid armor header:iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEK6+F+SgavVQ4I8fFmB63w4LsUrQFAlmFyfIACgkQmB63w4Ls\n

That was the main idea behind it, because i know a lot of well known
security / privacy experts are on Twitter and maybe they find this
little tip useful.
