Why do I get german reCaptcha here? I am no German, I am not in Germany…
But I have to correct myself, as now I get Euskara captcha (Basque?).
Is this some World Language Awareness Campaign™? 
(Now I’m back to English again. Boooring.)
Long-standing issue on AskLO.
@mike kaganski: thanks. And it seems to be an unresolveable mystery. Takes CAPTCHA to a new level when you have to “identify kōtiro in the pictures”.
