Methinks Google Blogger has jacked into my brain.
Or is psychic.
For instance, the word verifiers in the comments have been messing with my head. Today, I wrote a comment and the verifier was: “Weeding.”
Perhaps it’s trying to tell me something.
Then I wrote another comment and the verifier said: “Brattle”, which made me think of “cattle”, which made me think about being herded around, which made me wonder: “Am I just giving a rote response?”
You see why I think Google Blogger might be an evil sentient being?
I’m watching you, Blogger. I’m watching you.

Ah HAL... The evil, iconic computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey. He's the computer that decides that it is logical to terminate the crew... And I remember he doesn't like Dave doing things...
Now if you really want to worry, for all you Windows users, if you look really really close at Windows, the thing that allows Windows to talk to all your hardware, like your USB drives, is named HAL... Coincidence?!? I think not!
I think I should really re-read these comments before I post them... I said Windows like 5 times in a row...
Windows!
Yeah, I should start keeping a list of the weird verification words Blogger keeps giving me. I had SYLAR once last week. Yes, I'm a dork.
This is why word verification is evil.
Kristina is right. WV is evil. EVIL!!
Wait...why can't I breathe? What's happening to my computer? Open the pod bay doors, Hal. OPEN THE POD...BAY...
Never mind. I love WV. I love Hal. I love Windows. I think humans would taste great with a light vinaigrette...
When it's within walking distance. I love it. What the heck am I doing on the computer? I know I'm supposed to be doing something else.....
Oh yeah. If you can walk there. What if you've most likely already arrived?
Well I'm waiting for the verifier to say "rubbish" the next time before I post something new.
No, LT. Blogger is watching YOU. Blogger is watching YOU.
We probably don't want to know just how MUCH Blogger is watching us!
Don't taunt Blogger. Judgment Day is due anytime now.
Blogger would find me too boring and crazy to watch. Now Bing? Maybe. :D
Now I'm frightened. Blogger is watching us? Yikes. I did get the word "nerd" for a verification one day. Are they trying to tell ME something?
Another reason we should all just turn WV off - and risk the consequences (whatever they may be).
Laughing. I am laughing. Always a good thing!
Oh my yes. Yes! I am convinced of its sentience. Ever since I wrote a (far too long) comment on someone's blog and had as my word verification word "babble."
So, so not a coincidence.
I LOVE that quote. Dude, for me it's a single step. Ha ha!
I'm actually amazed how often the word verification letters (never mind that I DESPISE that whole practice!) seem to say something prescient and meaningful...like it knows something I'm only aware of on a subconscious level.
Scary!
You could be on to something. I will definitely keep my eyes peeled.
Happy writing!
Hmmmmm. there are no boundaries for subliminal messages is there? Maybe the next one you'll get is massage :-)
Maybe I'll have to turn mine off now so it can't watch me any more. . .
