Don't you think it's ironic then that you misspelled "suitable"?

  Pretty ironic, yeah. Though I'm generally terrible with misspellings, because once I've thought of what to write my mind drifts off, I usually gaze out of the window, and my hands often follow their muscle memories rather than what I want to type. So in fact, I actually often type their/there wrong, although any time I do I catch it as soon as I've done it.

    No harm, no foul. :) I was amused by it actually, and a thought crossed my mind that you did it on purpose. Anyway, it just reiterates that, while funny, this method of captcha is pretty much useless.

  Also ironic that the grandparent used a hyphen instead of the proper em dash. (- vs. —)

  See Muphry's Law: http://www.editorscanberra.org/muphrys-law/ http://www.editorscanberra.org/muphrys-law/ :) edit: Why can't I use an apostrophe in a URL? HN seems to be stripping it out, so couldn't link to the Wikipedia page without a crufty "%27" showing up...

    Why can't I use an apostrophe in a URL? HN seems to be stripping it out, so couldn't link to the Wikipedia page without a crufty "%27" showing up... Interesting. It looks like ASCII character 27 is supposed to be valid within URIs according to both RFC 3986 and RFC 1738 (via [0]). Maybe it's a simple component of a system for preempting SQLi on other sites via links from HN?

  Gosh, a correct use of the term "ironic", can the ghost of Morissette be being laid to rest?.

    Thanks, I was very careful with that one.
