Found a dead link that redirects to a Rickroll from 2007

I was cleaning out my old bookmarks last night and clicked on something called 'cool site of the day' from like 2008. Instead of whatever it used to be, it bounced me straight to a Rick Astley video. The URL was some random Geocities page that somehow still exists but clearly got hijacked. I actually laughed out loud at 2am. Has anyone else run into old bookmarks that turned into redirect traps?

That Geocities page is probably held together with tape and prayers at this point. Still funny though.

Honestly, backing everything up on a cheap external drive saved my bacon when my old site finally died.
