Isn't there an [a] tag attribute which causes the browser to lie about where a link goes?

No.

That's why link obfuscation is a huge business among scum.

I could swear there used to be at least some way to make the text that pops up at the bottom of your browser when you mouseover a link say something that isn't the link destination. Am I just remembering some browser-specific trick or something?

There's the 'title' attribute, that causes a hoverover or whatever, and may replace the link address hoverover you'd otherwise get, though I get both - the hoverover as a little popup thing, and the address on the status bar at the bottom.

Like this

Yeah, that still shows up as the proper link in my browser (the latest Firefox). Maybe it was just a relic of an antiquated browser.

Quite possibly. Out of curiousity, do you still get the 'FILTHY PORN!' title popping up somewhere?

PS: rickrolling is spam. And treated as such.

Ah Ness Energy. They are hilarious. Endtimers, they believe the Book of Revelation is word for word prophetic, and since it is prophecy, it is God's will that they do everything in their power to bring about the apocalypse it predicts. Revelation was the book that was written after the authors cracked open the really good drugs (war, angels, apocalypse, that sort of thing). That's not just a joke either, many religious scholars reckon it was written on the island of Patmos, which is home to more than a few species of psychadellic funghi.

Anyway back to our friends the Endtimers. Since it is predicted that Israel will discover a new source of power, some came to the conclusion this means they will strike oil and so are out there drilling away, despite the fact every geological survey says there is none there.

On a completely "Let there be light crude!" note:

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have developed a way to make gasoline out of solar energy, doing in moments what nature does over eons. By focusing solar heat, they crack carbon dioxide to create hydrocarbons, thus potentially providing a carbon-neutral way to produce hydrocarbon fuels. In effect, they are reversing combustion and turning carbon dioxide back into fuel.
