Hey Ann,

Such good finds. =)

These captcha’s are really very impossible most of the times… It’s actually sometimes becoming irritating.

Another one good post from you.

Thanks!

So true…I recently was requesting service from a website and I could not get the captcha to work. After leaving with a serious ding to my self esteem (turns out I’m not human). I emailed them. Never heard a response, guess I will go with someone else.
