    Mailinator is a tool for terrorist cells to communicate with one another.  Why do you need anonymity on the Internet?  What kind of unsavory activities are you trying to hide?

    That's odd...

    The (possibly 12-year-old) captcha creator won me over, though, with this sequence of captchas as I was refreshing to get the magicly broken one again:

    • keep
    • hitting
    • refresh?

    There's also:

    • Really now
    • Stop it

    or something like that anyway.
