You've all seen one of these before right? Ofcoarse you have, it's called a "CAPTCHA". That acronym stands for "Completely Automatic Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart". Now you're probably wondering what the heck is a Turin test, if not then good for you. I just learned about this recently and now I have to add Alan Turin to my list of heroes. Check him out, google him, Wikipedia him, and I bet you'll think of Alan Turin the next time you fill out a CAPTCHA......sometimes I get geeked over the coolest things!....cool to me anyways lol.
