Wednesday May 07, 2008 | New and Improved CAPTCHA | Humor |
There was a recent story about Google's CAPTCHA being broken. CAPTCHAs are the little tests that websites use to prove
the user is a human and not an automated system (spammer). This very blog
uses the simple, and easily broken, "add these numbers" test to leave a
comment.
Here are my (not serious) suggestions for improved CAPTCHAs:
Use Pop Culture References:
Which character ruined Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace?
A.
B.
C.
D. All of the Above
Answer: D
What internet meme died on April 1, 2008?
- Dramatic Hampster
- Rick Rolling
- LOL Cats
- Scientology
Answer: B
Use Song Lyrics:
How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
The answer is: --> blowin' in the wind
Who ya gonna call?
--> Ghostbusters!Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
--> Shaft!
You're damn right
Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother man?
--> Shaft!
Can ya dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
--> Shaft!
Right on!
You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother--
--> Shut your mouth
But I'm talkin' about Shaft
--> Then we can dig it
Use Trivia:
How Many Licks Does It Take To Get To The Tootsie Roll Center Of A Tootsie Pop?
--> 3
What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
--> African or European?
Use Jeopardy Questions:
Catagory: POTPOURRI
The most undeserving popular blog at blogs.sun.com.
--> /dev/null/kevin
Please phrase your response in the form of a question
--> What the hell is /dev/null/kevin?
Comment approved.
