MIT "rickrolled"

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the leading US science university, has been "rickrolled" on a grand scale. Students have plastered the first eight notes of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up on scaffolding surrounding the Boston research centre's Great Dome. The pranksters dreamed up the sophisticated stunt after noticing that the horizontal lines of the scaffolding cover resembled unfilled sheet music, according to MIT's student newspaper The Tech.

Sheer genius...
