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".)

The unthinking arrangement of words in random sequence is a fundamental value of Wikipedia. This accounts for most articles. If it is gratuitously offensive it is considered a bonus.
