The Security of qijibgo

I love the random letter combinations that are presented as "Word Verification" anytime I post or comment on a blog. Granted, this requirement certainly deters spam comments sent from enslaved computers programmed by roving bands of java-beasts, but it also deters genuinely interested people who are not very good at deciphering squigly letters. Now I'm a college educated (not accredited in all states) fellow, and I passed the mandatory reading exam before receiving my diploma (a test put in place due to the large number of illiterates walking around with journalism degrees these days), but I'm not good at letter interpretation either. I have trouble reading my own words when I somehow manage to turn on the italics function. Hey, knock that off. Stupid computer.
There was not real point to writing any of this. If you've continued this far its probably because A) You know me and feel sorry for me, B) Your looking for clues that may lead to the identity of my killer, or C) You're searching for the origin of the phenomenon that will follow this announcement: All next week's posts will be HAIKUS!
That's right. The highest form of Japanese poetry will come to life on the pages of Big Morty Says! Practice your crazy letter reading skills because you'll want to be the first to post comments when you see the quality of Japanese poetry that I can produce when trying to meet an artificial objective that I've set for myself. Yipee!
To my loyal followers, thanks for reading. World domination will begin after Haiku Week.

Mom's reading this one on the other computer, laughing her head off and saying stuff like "He's so crazy!"
...More laughs...I think she stopped breathing...
