Now They're Just F**king With Me


I know my Lasik-ed vision is a little off, but are those first two symbols even letters?

Nope. I had the same thing happen on another site, so I just kept hitting the ReCaptcha until I got something that didn't look like Klingon.

I've noticed this in the last few days. Maybe the high tides have swept the numbers away?

SN? Sometimes the CAPTCHA generators goof up rather horribly

reCaptcha is a Google program. They include one image that's a scan from a book or newspaper or something else that needs to be digitized, where OCR software failed. The only word you have to get correct is the one that's not a scan. Then they take all the guesses at a single scan (could be millions a day), and the guess that's most prevalent is what they go with in their digitizing efforts.

More than once, I have seen these things in Hebrew.
