No, this isn't about cracking StarCraft or StarCraft 2 or Heroes of Newerth or what have you.

Cracked is a fantastic comedy site that is known for its lists. Originally a parody of Mad Magazine (which in itself is a silly notion), Cracked eventually lost its share of the print humor magazine market and is now exclusively online. As for the search bar on TeamLiquid I'm pretty sure iNcontroL once posted something from there.

An example of the lists would be The 10 most Terrifying Guides to Sex. You really have to read it to understand the type of humor they're into. I guess a bit like Engadget but with more purpose toward humor.

I guess there's not much more to say besides to try it yourself. Head over to Cracked and see if you like it.

This is a part of DivinO's Try series. Other articles include:
Try Being a Car Geek!
Try Girl Talk!

I think it was the first time I managed to escape cracked.com after reading only one article, though not without great effort. :p

The captions is really what makes the site great, the timing on the images and captions in the articles are so gold.

Cracked is first in my markers list.

I laughed a lot at the "6 Famous Explorers Who Shaped The World (With Insane Lies)" article today, especially the "Please Magellanites, throw down your Magellan sticks and get off of Magellan Beach!" part.

Cracked and The Onion are by far the best comedy websites in the web.

Most of the stuff on that site is grossly exaggerated to produce shock value and instill interest.

Still, I somehow spend hours going through it.

Oh my God. Quoted for truth. I clicked the ONE link in the original post, and I already have four Cracked tabs open twenty seconds later. Fuck my life.

I stopped reading cracked when I realized the majority of it were extremely overexaggerated/generalized bullshit without proper sourcing. If you know anything about the topics they write about, you will know that half of the stuff they say is pseudoscience half truths. All I would say it's not getting you educated properly, or is it giving you proper knowledge. You'd be better off reading books instead of going to cracked.
