You know those silly "Security Check" things Facebook makes you do periodically, when you're commenting or adding friends or other things, to make sure you're not a 'Net-cruising robot?
(For the Facebook uninitiated: that site requires users who haven't validated their e-mail addresses (not sure exactly what that means) to occasionally look at a pair of words/numbers that are posted in a graphic file--generally blurred somewhat, printed on an angle, and with lines through them--and then type in what they are. The idea is that computers are very bad at interpreting those kinds of fractured symbols, but human beings don't have too much problem.)
Apparently these tests are called "CAPTCHAs"--thanks, cybersaur.
Anyway! Posting a Comment on my own Facebook status just a few minutes ago, here's the two-word "Security Check" CAPTCHA I got:
Ha ha--zing! I had no idea trenchant 2008 political commentary was still alive and well in Facebook Security Check-land.
(I've seen weird words and numbers on the Security Check before, but "Ayres" was a bit of a surprise. And I should probably mention that this is the first time I've seen the two terms on a Facebook CAPTCHA have any particular contextual connection to one another. As far as I can tell, the above graphic is the result of the Facebook system randomly selecting those two words, independently. So it seems to me like political commentary, Ouija style.)
