Many many people will know this, I guess. But if you don't know it, it might be difficult to guess.
What is the subject of the website www.pinksheets.com?
This may also be the easiest question to cheat on. (I do have one klaxon ready, for a particularly wild guess I'm hoping someone makes.)
In the meantime, you can amuse yourselves with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5jKBwkXr44.

I've cheated, so I'm out.
It wasn't what I thought it might have been though.

I just spent 30 minutes watching QI.
Curse you internet - curse you !
P ink sheets are of course used in the manufacture of invisible ink, as we all know urine becomes visible when warmed before a flame, though it is essential to have the correct paper to use - natural these are known as P ink sheets. (And I didn't peek)

Oh, and the video is more of a vaguely related misdirection than an actual clue.

>> Urine becomes visible when warm.
Someone on Front Row recently, talking about how hard it used to be to write before word processors, said that when Rosa Luxembourg was in prison she wrote using her own urine. I assume it was hers. Maybe not.

My original thought was a car-trade site (from pink slips).
