Of course I'm not allowed to edit Wikipedia, but if I were, I might have recently been presented with this CAPTCHA image when saving an edit with external links.

Gratuitous, yes. But I'll admit to laughing every time I look at it.

(By the way, I suspect it's supposed to be a combination of "heads" and "hits".)

Been busy at my day job — I know you all think that Turing Testing is a bot's job, but Captcha is just another word for Cache with nothing to do …

OBTW, a really good use for Captcha Codes is when you have x-hausted yer høøman ∀ 2 høøman creativity for cooking up new sockpuppet names — just reverse the 2 words to get the password.
