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

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

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.
