OK but why is there a vagina in a petri dish

I believe that's a close-up of the inside of a pitcher plant. Which is a plant that sits there all day wafting out a sweet smell of food, waiting around for insects to fall into its fluid filled "belly" where they thrash around fruitlessly until they finally die and are dissolved, thereby nourishing the plant they were originally there to prey upon.

Fitting analogy, no?

I'm imagining a break future where, in order to access data from a website you have to pass a three tiered system of tests that make, 'click here to prove you aren't a robot' and 'select all of the images that have a traffic light' , seem like child's play.

This is probably going to skyrocket hosting bills, right?

The pages are plain html so it's just a couple KB per request. Much cheaper than loading an actual site.
