How to Make Art With Your Captcha
A captcha is a picture that is designed to provide security for websites---before you can enter a website, or sign up for a service, you are often required to type in the letters of a captcha to prove your human identity. Although captchas are often a jumble of letters or words, they can sometimes be funny phrases. Use your odd captcha to create a funny piece of artwork.
