stupid captchas

we've all seen them before. the eerie font, the strange disconnected two words. this is for security purposes. type the words you see in the box below. capitalization is not necessary. then, because the font is so obscured, we've typed in the wrong words and are asked to try again. damn it! why, captcha, why??

who are these captchas anyway, and what's their real purpose? are they just futile web riddles that we are all encouraged to figure out for no real reason? i think so, but i'm not sure. please tell me your thoughts by typing these two words in the box below. HeLLa StUpiD.
