I AM NOT A BLASTED VIRUS
I AM HUMAN, POET, ARTIST
And you’re a confounded nuisance…

Picture this—
A world where a simple click
Will send the comment more swiftly
Will log you in faster
No more silly letters in a grid
If only…

Well—I suppose its fine
I’m a complainer, a nuisance, a swine
But hey, fine, I’ll say it:

Thanks, Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans 
Apart
It is things like you that will prevent a robotic takeover

Timothy Hicks June 21, 2016 at 12:55 AM You can write about anything, Laura ... no subject is too off the wall or random for you. I'm reminded of a poem I wrote awhile back about emoticons ... ha ha ha. PS. Am I the only that finds it childishly amusing when the CAPTCHA actually spells out something like LOL, BRB or ASS?? It's happened multiple times with me ... Laura Breidenthal June 21, 2016 at 1:06 AM Lol...oh my gosh, yes. It's very amusing - you're not alone. I think I wrote a poem about a message from the captcha not too long ago. Weirdly enough, I was inspired a lot by the computer automated thingie. Who would have known? <3~Laura

Edwin Baldwin July 1, 2011 at 4:11 PM I totally agree with you… but at least this site makes um easy to see. I never understood why some sites make them so hard for the user to figure out.
