YouTube's Hidden Snake Game Gives You Something to Do While Your Video Loads

via Urlesque by Jay Hathaway on 7/27/10

Mashable

Are you bored while waiting for YouTube videos to load? Well, the clever folks at YouTube have included a hidden Snake Game that you can play to amuse yourself while your video is buffering, or even while you watch.

The game is similar to the classic Snake you may have played on ancient Nokia phones or early PCs. You control a snake that eats dots and gets longer and faster as the game goes on. If you hit the edge of the screen, or touch your own tail, it's game over.

To unlock this amusing little gem, just hold the left for a while when you've got a video selected. For a clearer illustration of how this works, we've included a demonstration video from the guy who claims to have discovered the game. Happy snaking!

If These Dinosaurs Are Real, We Don't Want to Be Right

via Urlesque by Eliot Glazer on 7/14/10

Filed under: Videos, Animals, Science

Whatever town square these lifesize puppet dinosaurs came to life in was undoubtedly left in a pile of stone, ash, and human carcass, right? I mean, the kids, leading the giant dinos on chain leashes, look like they're having a blast despite the furious gaze of these toothy monstrosities, enormous and terrifying down to the pimpled, shadowed scales lining their "skin."

Excuse us, but they're literally, like, hissing and snapping at their "handler," and sure, none of this is real life, but when it comes down to it, the Urlesque Time Machine is already pre-programmed to go nowhere beyond the eighteenth century. Things we want to see: powdered wigs, the first ever bidet, and maybe Don Draper's office, but REAL DINOSAURS? No thank you.

20 Weird and Goofy Facebomb Photoshops

via Urlesque by Cole Stryker on 7/13/10

Filed under: Humor, Photos

Take a picture of a group of your friends in which one person is making a goofy face. Zoom in on them, then back out. Everyone's making the goofy face! Then post it to your favorite message board to delight those who can appreciate your absurd sense of humor. You'll just have to click through to see what I mean.

Some of these Photoshop jobs are shockingly professional, which is half the fun. Someone spent a few hours making some of these, matching skin tones and resizing features all for a quick little joke. It is exactly like da Vinci slaving over the Mona Lisa.

'Big Bang Big Boom' - New BLU Cityscape Animation Blows All the Others Away

via Urlesque by Nick Douglas on 7/6/10

Filed under: Videos, Art / Design

BLU, the artists behind the wallscape stop-motion videos MUTO and COMBO, have published a new short film that just lays its predecessors to waste.

I usually watch these kinds of artsy vids halfway through and give up. A few seconds into this one, I went fullscreen and watched it while doing nothing else but drinking a beer and saying "wat" (rhymes with "cat") a few times. There's a truck, and a snow fence, and soccer balls, and they painted the whole front of a building blue!

Fwd: Tech Support for Installing a Husband

Tech Support for Installing a Husband

via Love, Actually by Cher on 7/1/10

When marriage get's frustrating, it sometimes works to have a little humor. Every once in a while, try laughing at the things that irritate you, because you should know, we all deal with our share of marriage frustrations.

Here's a funny for you...

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate

———————

Dear Desperate,

First, keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter the command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html, download Tears 6.2 and be sure to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If those applications work as designed Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, please remember that overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (It runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. This is an unsupported application and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck!

Tech Support
