Snakes in the Tubes!

Seriously, there are snakes in the tubes!

Apparently you can play a game of "snake" on youtube.  First, go to youtube and load any video. 

1. Pause the video at 0:00 and fullscreen it.  (fullscreen isn't required but it makes it easier to play.)
2. Now hold down the left arrow key [←] and press the up arrow key [ ↑ ] (so you're pressing them both at the same time)
3. Release those and tap right arrow key [→] and up arrow key [ ↑ ] simultaneously (tap and release them at the sime time).

You'll see a moving "snake" and a pellet for him to eat.  You can control him with the arrow keys.
Not sure how well this will work on a video embedded in a blog, but if it doesn't load here, just go to youtube and try it out.  It works with any video.

and a video to get you started:

Enjoy your game of snake!

    @Anon,
    yeah, it's been there for a while. there used to be a secret similar to this on facebook but then they changed the layout and it doesnt work anymore.

    glad you liked the video, though. that's been around for a while too. :)

    I'm sure you've seen the latest badger related youtube phenomenon. Basically the greatest video ever.
