And here we go, once again: a round-up of the latest WikiAnswers questions being asked by bloggers. One of my favorite parts of the week, considering how much new (and, yes, sometimes useless) info that I pick up.

• Allthatsfab speculates on the rumors that singer Usher might be gay.
• David Gagne learns how to play a Texas Scramble in Golf.
• Yard Work sports the question: Is Hillary Clinton is a Cubs fan?
• The Secret of Theatrical Space is sharing the answers regarding the effects of cognitive priming.

Even before April Fools’ Day, a lot of bloggers were linking to WikiAnswers to help readers with the definition of getting Rickrolled. I’m going to lay it all out here, as defined on WikiAnswers, since Rickrolling has been happening in all corners of the interwebs. The following is my favorite answer of the bunch:

What does it mean to be Rickrolled?

Rickrolled is an internet phenomenon which happens when a hapless internet surfer clicks on a link with a promising headline such as, “check out this vid of hot chicks in panties!”. However, after clicking the link, you will be brought to the music video of the 80’s pop star Rick Astley performing the song “Never Gonna Give You Up”.

Honestly, I didn’t know what Rickrolling was until I started realizing that it was a popular question on WikiAnswers. Cathy Adamkiewicz defined Rickroll for April Fools’, as did Ctl Alt Banana, Online Dating Insider, Soniq and The Quill and Nail.
