What The Heck Is That Thing?

I was editing a craigslist posting and got this in my confirmation captcha:

How am I supposed to type that? My keyboard doesn’t have the “Creepy Face” button. Must be a Mac thing…

(Yes, I know that craigslist uses the great reCAPTCHA service and really only needs me to recognize the second word, before anybody starts railing on me for that.)

Update: I’m an idiot. I didn’t even look at it at an angle as Burton pointed out — it’s just an inverse letter “a” plopped on its side.

Burton says:

Golly, on my Mac it just looks like the letter “a” rotated 90 degrees to the left and with inverse colors. Must be a problem with your PC.

Jake says:

Oh cripes, I didn’t even look at it at that angle (why would I?). Looks like PEBKAC today 😉

Burton says:

In all fairness, it really DOES look like a face. 🙂

Robert says:

I saw a face too!

Jake says:

OK, good, I wasn’t the only one.
