Linkbait Generator Can Help You Survive a Plane Crash
This post isn't about surviving a plane crash. You fell for linkbait. It's a common mistake. Sometimes you just blindly click links that don't contain useful information, just because their headlines are so ridiculous.

How Do You Laugh Online? (Poll)
Back in May, we asked our Urlesque fans on Facebook how they laugh online. Do they prefer "haha," "LOL" or "ROFLcopter"? Usually, the type of laugh depends on the situation. If your friend tells you she ruined her college semester with a nasty email, it's probably not best to respond with "bwahahahaha!" After unscientifically sorting through our Facebook fan responses, we were able to create a ...
The Ultimate Crasher Photo
You're at a party posing for someone's phone, convinced this will be your best Facebook photo ever, when someone jumps into the frame and ruins it.

While everyone was busy acting like Kanye ...
Pew Pew Pew - The Greatest Lasers in Internet History (Photos and Videos)

Washing Your Hands in the Toilet (Video)
When visiting The Netherlands, be careful when washing your hands after using a portable toilet. The soap in other countries should look like soap from your home country and the water should also be of a mostly clear nature.

Release the Kraken! Make Your Own Version of 'Clash of the Titans' Meme
The 3D remake of Clash of the Titans may have cost $70 million to make, but the only memorable part of the newest trailer is Zeus booming out "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!"

Dancing Cops Bust a Move (Videos)
Share digg_url = 'http://www.urlesque.com/2010/03/19/dancing-cops-videos/'; The perfect time to dance, is when you've got a gun dangling from your body. Granted, guns don't go off just by shaking them, but there's probably a reason you don't see any television shows called "Dancing with Guns".
