Wait, I thought the whole purpose of captcha was to prove that you're NOT a robot.

That's hilarious (and definitely means I wouldn't be getting past that screen)!

Oh, heaven have mercy.

I just listened to something on the radio the other day about the invention of the captcha. There was some stuff I didn't know - that some of them feature words from literature digitization projects that scanners can't parse, but humans can - so as you decode and enter the captcha word, the data is sent to the scannign project so the word can be corrected. Neato!

In order for me to get past that, I would have to build a time machine and go back to my high school senior year calculus studying self and say, "hey kid, fill this out for me."

If you hit reload a few times you get a super easy one.

(which I guess is the point)
