Where Did That Come From?

It's something you don't expect. Well at least not in the beginning. It could have happened at any time, during any small Internet task. Imagine, your buying a cool new gadget on Amazon, posting a comment on a blog, or just sending an email. Now just as you click buy, post, or send... sirens sound, alarms blaze. You see a message that reads, "Please verify your submission." You look down at the little red highlight and see this word that you can't even read, above this little box that has a flashing cursor.

I'm sure everyone has come across this little gem a time or two. I understand why they are there, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Some of the words aren't even words (like the ones in the picture) and some make you think twice before typing. I have run across some really annoying ones and some that make me laugh. I had to enter one today that I thought was really funny and the main reason for this odd post. I was on one of the many blogs I like to read, about to make a small comment to one of the posts, when I looked down and notice what looked like a word that you shouldn't say out loud, if you know what I mean. I had to look at it twice before I realized that it wasn't what I thought it was, but very close. Okay fine, I will tell you what the word was, I know you want to know anyway... The word was shist. See, even you looked at it twice and you knew it was coming. Imagine how I felt, I wasn't expecting it at all.
