When I was a new user I got one that had an extremely unique word in it.  The whole name of a street not too far from my house.  Never seen/heard of that street anywhere else.  It was safe to say I was trippin, and freaking the fuck out a little bit.  coincidences....

Actually, every captcha had a word or at least the beginning of a word in it.  I've got a rather significant vocabulary so I recognize even unusual words.  Open a dictionary and look up the letters, it's a word.  I've actually read that a lot of captchas are used to convert books into printed works.  They scan the picture, obscure it a bit, and have people enter it.   I dunno how well that would actually work as it seems like they'd need the whole printed work anyways to verify that the captcha was entered correctly.  Anywho...
