So, I've been trying to rick roll this girl I've met in my university bio lab. We've become pretty good friends over the last couple weeks, and I want to play a joke on her. She knows what a rick roll is, and is pretty internet savvy.
I've tried to trick her on a number of occasions, but she always knows not to trust me with any links. It would make my day to con her into clicking a rick roll link. I'm determined.
So... I've devised a plan:
-Spoof our lab TA's email address
-Send her an email saying something about "I think you'd be interested in this scientific journal article, Jane...."
-Insert rick roll link
-???
-Profit!
Now, the problem: I need a respectable-looking, inconspicuous website address. No tinyurl links will do. She'll know immediately.
Any ideas?
Update: Email has been sent... now I wait for the response.

Hey guys,
Please ensure you read this email, as it pertains to your upcoming lab exam. Barbara, the lab co-ordinator, has asked me to pass this along to students in my lab. In our labs we covered the basic material for the Biology course, but there are a few key subjects that some TA's felt we didn't emphasize enough. These will be important to the lab exam, so we urge you to revise this material. The following page, produced by U of P is fairly comprehensive:

Thanks,

Update 2: Success. She fell for it. Hilarity ensued.
