Just feel like mentioning: I actually prefer the weird word captcha over reCaptcha. Well, not always. Only when it sees my VPN and thinks I could be a bot. It sucks because it doesn't see context.

If it asks me to select images with signs and I select the sign's post, it doesn't work because it doesn't know if it's a sign without context. And even if I try my best to look at each image separately, it still throws me off most of the time. And then comes the one where you have to wait for the images to fade in. And each image takes forever. 5 seconds for a single image, and there are at least 16 of them. At this point I could have done 5 weird word captchas and gotten them correctly on the first try.
