Person on Internet Claims to Have Rickrolled His Physics Teacher
I’m not going to say it happened because it’s a claim from a random person on the Internet, and I try to discipline myself not to accept such claims at face value. Even if it didn’t really happen, though, it’s kind of clever.
Getting to grips with the complicated works of a Nobel prize winning physicist can be difficult enough.
But a student’s short biography of scientist Niels Bohr has gone viral on the internet after he also managed to weave the lyrics from a Rick Astley song into the text under the nose of his professor.
Sairam Gudiseva’s boast on Twitter that he had ‘Rick Rolled my physics teacher…’, posting an accopmanying photograph of his essay with the verse from the 1987 hit ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ written with the first word on every line.

Heh.
Nerd humor.
Q. Complete this sentence: May the Force be …

I’ve got a better one for you:
(article)
“The University student at South Harmon Institute of Technology, Missouri,”

“. . . Bartleby creates a fake college, the South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.).”
That fine fellow spoofed the Twitterverse, the Daily Mail, and everyone who has passed that on.
Sam (9bf4c3) — 1/19/2014 @ 6:25 pmif you parse out certain of these lines you can clearly see that much of this “rick rolling” is fashioned such that it bears a remarkable resemblance to a handgun…
for example:
going
to
this is very very disturbing, even if upon lengthy investigation it proves to have only been a cry for help

Gazzer (74e832) — 1/19/2014 @ 6:50 pmIt looks like he got rick-rolled by his writing teacher.

I can see it already:
LOLZ. :^D

This student would be far better off if he had taken the time he spent on manipulating his words into a rick-roll and instead spent that time on studying, researching, and writing.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 1/20/2014 @ 7:48 amAs Sam notes above, obviously fake (and Daily Mail is not smart). Clever, but fake.
JRM (cd0a37) — 1/20/2014 @ 8:04 amThat looks like an interesting acrostic.
When I first read that, I thought “Rick-Rolled” might mean to make an acrostic like that.
It turns out it means to get the words of that particular song into a link, or I guess other places.
Sammy Finkelman (4227f2) — 1/20/2014 @ 8:38 amIt is a lot of random quotes about Niels Bohr. I think abetter job could be done.
Most software will not let you prevent wordwrap easily.
Sammy Finkelman (4227f2) — 1/20/2014 @ 8:40 amSigh….back when I studied Physics it was all math. We never got around to the “writing reports about physicists” part.
I wonder what grade this was.
RWS (9d1bb3) — 1/20/2014 @ 9:05 amIt looks like maybe 7th grade, but it actually never was submitted to any class anyway. Someone just claimed that.
Sammy Finkelman (4227f2) — 1/20/2014 @ 9:11 amLooks like someone had a little bit too much free time on his hands.
The amused Dana (3e4784) — 1/20/2014 @ 9:12 amI have learned, now, what a “rickroll” is; I hope it does not replace something useful in my brain.
gramps, the original (64b8ca) — 1/20/2014 @ 10:55 am@14: that’s how I remember it, too.

Cartoon Network Rickrolled the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade a few years back – WITH Rick Astley no less.

arik (02de93) — 1/21/2014 @ 6:57 pmI saw this well over a year ago. No less clever, but I really doubt this guy who just tweeted it actually wrote it.

The Limerick Avenger (3e4784) — 1/22/2014 @ 6:57 amRight now, she’d be in pain
At just how dumb
She has become
She needs to find someone to blame!
Oops, wrong thread!
