I was on the computer with my six year old son when I decided to check my email account, to see if the Dora the explorer login account we had asked for had been sent. Upon logging onto gmail I was confronted with the standard anti-bot visual recognition system. But this time it has a not so standard word for me to type. As soon as my eyes are finally able to recognize the fact that the word "sperm" is plastered on my 19 inch lcd monitor, my son is already starting to sound out the word Sesame Street style. "Spa... Spa... rm.. rm.. Speeerrrm... Sperm!" "What is a sperm daddy? All I can say is "It's a whale!!!" as I quickly minimized the screen. Needless to say I had to take a screen shot for you guys and share it with the crew.
My email address has been blurred to protect the inocent!

Something similar happened to a friend of mine when we were younger. He had grabbed his Mom's credit card and went online to make a purchase, upon making the purchase, he was confronted with the word "Thief" on the image verification system. He assumed he was caught, and turned off the comp. Kind of makes you wonder where the words are coming from lol. Maybe this is the Digital Magic 8-Ball. I am just glad that Adrian isn't old enough to remember Daddy's Online activities. As far as the reading part goes, I am in TN; we won't have to worry about him reading until he turns 14, lol. The text format on the screenshot makes it look like the Oompa Loompa's are sending us a secret morale from the Chocolate Factory. Maybe there is something to this 8-ball theory after all.

Its sad that you can write lyrics to that song, and even worse that i know the tune to sing them to

Hey, Whenever my band goes platinum or I shoot at a rabbit and hit Oil, you better believe I am going to get me some oompa loompas. They will spread my propaganda throughout the land singing songs of Jellybeans, and Rubber Bullet Kisses.

Some websites i register with have image verification, and a random number is generated, i can't wait for the day I see the number "1337"
I'm suprised any online verification would generate something like this, are you going to complain?

i wonder how they generate the words , if they just get them from a dictionary database , then it seems ur very unlucky to have the word 'sperm' with ur 6 years old son , because an adult related word would respawn 1 every million word or something like that , maybe something else google's being mean ..

Well, I don't know, but kids remember everything. But if you let him use internet, I wouldn't worry. He's going to know what sperm is soon enough

Gsecur is also partially right A sperm really has similarities with a whale, for example, at least it swims in water and has a tail and a head, and chromosomes But i don't think there are small and white whales
