The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren’t a robot.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swampy

Quote
As of 2013, he was still living in a commune in Wales with his family, working for the Forestry Commission and running marathons and half marathons.[7][8]

This bit made me chuckle:

Quote
Swampy was parodied in a Judge Dredd comic featuring "Spawny" who impeded the construction of a "Spaceport" in the same manner as the real-life eco-warrior. The story ends with the construction continuing unimpeded, with Spawny apparently being sealed alive under the concrete foundation, a reference to a public comment by Conservative minister John Watts that he would like Swampy to be "buried in concrete".[9]

;D ;D ;D

Apparently he had a massive heart attack so the NHS offered him a by-pass but he refused it!  ;D
