Youtube is strange.

Load a youtube video, see the buffering animation, hold down the down arrow key. See strange animation. That is weird.

I wonder why they put this in the flash software?

What? Perhaps my net connection is too fast today to permit me to replicate this.

Awesome easter egg. But impractical.

I can't see it anyway, because the whole window scrolls down.

The same thing happened to me. Just click on the video itself before pressing the arrow keys.

I was going to rebuttal and say Youtube is not strange, just full of stupid people, but I guess thats not relevant to the issue.

But why would anybody want to play snake on screen while watching a video on u-tube? Who are these people?

Some videos just take forever to load, play for ten seconds, and then start buffering again. (Not sure what does this, since other, longer videos may very well load nearly instantly, on the same connection.) When that happens, the snake is welcome. :) If you don't just pause the thing and go to another tab for an hour or two...
