When you pass your mouse pointr over the video thumbnails, it displays something like: Ministry of silly walk http://v1.lscache5.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=253.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ipbits=8&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1284422400&key=yt1&signature=82E5BA30661F6FA72ABA4C359D68FBE8607AF97E.4A7AEE8A15BB1DCB65EC66505279F387F5FD31AB&factor=1.25&id=22a86541f5d493bc I don't think the URL location (at least that is useful to be displayed), but I'm perhaps wrong. thought ?
It used to be less useless, back when the URIs for YouTube videos were of a sensible length. Currently, though, they're just stupidly long. You're right, they should be removed.

This is useful for when the URI isn't particularly interesting, or we know that it will always be too long to fit on screen.
