I thought when reading the write up, with TRAPDOOR and that Risk Astley image, that you were trying to use a gif that went from trapdoor to the Rick Astley image, but it wasn't working for you, and all you were getting was the Astley image...<br /><br />If you get incorrout again, and it's related to that Rick Astley video / song, then yes, you've been rickrolled. <br /><br />Guess it's not as commonly known as I thought it was...<br /><br />We had a course developer that would link to that video with various coursework titles and text to use as link placeholders until he received the materials or references that had been approved for announcement. It was annoying when working with pre-announcement material.

Though Nice Cuppa's explanation about 'love' in tennis match scores ( from the french ) may sound etymologically appropriate, and with common sense, there are some serious problems with accepting that version as undisputed fact.<br /><br /> According to Wiki's, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_the_number_0_in_English" rel="nofollow"> Names for the number 0 in English </a>, the french word may not have even stood the least chance of being the predecessor for 'love'.

It would have been fun.<br /><br />Unless I am misinterpreting your comment Joe, and you are saying he got rickrolled attempting to rickroll us... (at least through the imgur gif, if not the song/video).<br /><br /><br />To anyone that never had it happen to them... Remember the old "Ha ha, faked you out!" teasing ? It's an intentional linking to something other than what was expected. Called rickrolling or being rickrolled because it originally started out with links that always led to the "Never Going To Give You Up" video... <br /><br />The puzzle answer TRAPDOOR, with the picture of things "Rick Astley is never going to do" gave it away to me, and in response, my 10:36 link is an example of the "joke." <br /><br />Kinda like what CED does to us when he gives a link that misleads us...TTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03978803962510303498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-83737648932620319642015-12-07T14:46:49.216-06:002015-12-07T14:46:49.216-06:00I see AnonT beat me to an explanation.
