I always kinda wondered what the "read books" meant. Guess now I know.

I did notice how sometimes its not always accurate.

Some of those are just jumbled messes though.

Some captchas I've come across are just as unreadable, without the option to refresh it – except refreshing the whole dang page.

 

Whoa! Did my icon just get super-sized or what?

Maybe I should have tried that...

mu

 

No?  How about the Arrow key?

 

Am I missing something?  Are those just there to confuse bots, or are we actually supposed to type them?
