Gotcha is More Like It

It has just occurred to me that the messaging tool, Captcha, the one by which a person must enter nonsensical characters into a field in order to send an e-mail via Facebook or occasionally leave a blog comment, was not actually invented to eliminate spam.

No, no.

It was invented to discourage drunken messaging and commenting.

I have just discovered this from my own personal experience.

Seriously.

I sent an email to a friend last week. And signed it XOXOXOXO. She wrote back to me and signed hers CCCPP. What the heck I asked her? She said one she had a little extra wine, placed her fingers on the keyboard and when she went to type xoxo, typed cpcp instead. Anyway I think ccpp is kind of cute! CCPP, Mom
