8 Awesome Things You Can Do with CAPTCHA Words

We’re all familiar with that little red box on websites that asks us to copy those annoying, squiggly words in order to prove that we’re human and not a robots. But did you know that those random, nonsense words can be used for something more than just aggravating the crap out of you?


Here are 8 awesome things you didn’t know you could do with CAPTCHA words:


1.  You can write a really deep Haiku.  Here’s one I made:

ernmeng Kagero

littenta Minist roveent

noutont ofyine are


Woah. Right?

2.  You can try sneaking into a U.N. meeting and sitting at the table with a nameplate that reads: CAPTONIA.  Speak in CAPTCHA words until everyone grows confused.  Use a fake accent and request a “Captchan” translator.  When they say that no one speaks “Captchan,” storm out of the room shouting:  “Calvings tinieri Green ictire the monov EPILOGUE!”

3.  When your child’s misbehaving, simply have him stare at CAPTCHA words all day until he can figure out what the hell they say.  When your child insists it’s nearly impossible to make out the super narrow, wavy letters tell him to shut up and keep at it until he can prove he’s not a cyborg.

4.  Use CAPTCHA words as a soothing mantra during meditation:

Sit down in a comfortable chair.  Straighten your spine.  Pay attention to your breathing.  Then breathe in and out.  In and out.  In and out.  Relax.  Then repeat the

MyKild its prompster…
MyKild its prompster…
MyKild its prompster… isgar… lansen.

Finally, bow down to the bu,dd~HA.

5.  Use CAPTCHA words as a never-ending pool of potential names for that hip, new downtown bar you always wanted to start with your best friends, like “Atitude: okshor,” “also djobsi,” “ssmere this” or “the recumend.”

6.  Take your favorite CAPTCHA words to your local Kinko’s and have them blow them up onto giant poster boards.  Frame them and then display them 
at your local art gallery.

7.  Write CAPTCHA words on several note cards and always keep them in your pocket.  Whenever a sketchy guy tries to hit on you, peek at one of these cards and tell him something like, “I’m sorry, I’d love to but I have cyst mplarcei disease,” to scare him away.

8. Finally, when fresh out of illegal substances, stare at CAPTCHA words all day as a substitute for a truly wicked psychedelic trip.
