I stumbled upon this tonight. Seems like it would be a good way of verify humans. The only problem is having the processing power to generate new ones every time a user views your form. I’m afraid this will not be practical for many years. But still, pretty cool

I have always been an insomniac. Ever since I can remember, I would have an incredibly hard time getting to sleep. When I was young, my parents allowed me to have an old TV in my room as I played a lot of video games back then. Every night, I would go to bed at my bed time (10:30 CST) and fiddle with my electronics waiting for my favorite hour of the day.
One of the first projects that I took on was installing a headphone jack onto my TV. I did this so I could watch Conan O’Brian. I would patiently wait for my parents to finally go to bed. As soon as they did, I would stuff clothes under the crack of my bedroom door, plug my headphones into my TV, and watch Conan. I always connected with him. Furthermore, my music tastes always seem to magically line up with his guests.
As I moved out on my own and I grew up, I all but stopped watching TV.
So years have come and gone. And finally Conan comes on at a decent hour. I was starting to actually watch late night TV again. Then some assholes did what they do best. They screwed up what was surely a good thing. I hope that Conan finds a better network. Perhaps one that sees him for the talent that he is. And when Conan finds a home that appreciates him for what he is, I will go and watch Coco there.

So, over Christmas Chris and Batman came by. Christmas spirit was shared over the poker table. Chris was showing off his new bail out bag that he got for Christmas from his fiance’s family. It came packed with all sorts of nifty survival stuff. A multi-tool, a length of rope, etc. Anyhow, so a couple days go by and I stumble upon a nifty little grappling hook.
This got the gears a turning. I wondered if I could find a foldable grappling hook to give away for a late christmas gift. It was about that time that the clouds parts and floating down from the internet heavens on a beam of glorious light, came this little bad ass. I found a micro grappling hook.
This thing is built of 330 stainless steel. Not-so-scientific research claims they can hold up to 350 pounds of weight. The spikes are stored inside of the device. You can add weight to the thing by filling it up with water or sand. The eyelet accepts standard 550 cord.
These hooks are the smaller cousin of a hook used to pull trip wires from a safe distance. The military wanted a smaller version, and this was their answer. County Comm had 200 made. Gave some to the military for testing, then sold the rest on their website.
Immediately, I knew I have to buy 3 of these bad boys. Two of them would go to Chris and Batman as late Christmas gifts, and I would treasure the last one.
I bought 3 plus a 100′ section of 550 cord. I cut the cord into 3 equal lengths, then gave them as gifts. I think it may have been one of my best gifts ever.
Cheers,
Jonathan
