CAPTCHA of the Beast

A CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is a very forced acronym of a phrase that describes precisely what it does.  Machines can't read what they say (ironic, as the tests are created by machine).  Humans, however, can, and also take notice when the words written spell out some very interesting phrases.  If something like this should happen to you, I only have one piece of advice:  step away from the computer and run for it.
