  I ran afoul of Google's anti-abuse system once, several years back,
and didn't even get a CAPTCHA.  I was basically told -- to borrow a
phrase from our friends in the UK -- to bugger off for a while.

  I was doing some "interesting" searches to try and determine what
Google would accept as a search query.  Didn't get very far -- as soon
as I saw that, I decided it wasn't worth it and gave up.  It cleared
itself in maybe 15 minutes.  Thankfully.  I might have got in trouble
with the boss otherwise.  :)
