Remember the Golden Age of CAPTCHAs? The years when the CAPTCHA was a word that was somehow mysteriously (and ironically) linked to the contents of the post? The kind where people would leave comments like this?*
Your rant about Hitler and jazz music reminded me of the time those NAZI bastards surrounded Duke Ellington's train which was taking him from Belgum to Denmark. Damn racist NAZI bastards. Bastards bastards bastards!How you get either an easy word and a picture of a street number taken by Google's Streetcam-o-matic car,** or an easy word and a squiggle of hieroglyphics worthy of a Pierre Francois Bouchard. They're taking away all our fun.
Word Verification: "Gestapo". Man, how ironic was that, huh?
* Any resemblance of this comment and a real comment is coincidental. If this were a real comment, you'd, err, see it in the comments section.
** Now why doesn't the CAPTCHA ever show the dudes who mooned the streetcam? Asking for what he was doing could have, like 10 or 20 valid answers.

LOL, the original Turing equation plays in there too!
Some websites - - USA Today, among others - - use something called "Nucaptcha," which consists of three clear-as-crystal capital letters that rock back and forth. Don't understand why that one isn't more readily available.
I still have fun with the it; I deliberately mess with the numbers; making them close but wrong.
A 7 instead of a 1 and vice-versa.
Dang it! I clicked on the comment link just hoping for some lucky ironic captcha. Internet, you have failed me.
I could be persuaded that the current Googly "captcha" of street numbers and letters is biased towards our Robot Overlords' drone targeting database (or maybe the self-driving camera-car).
