GenericGirlName: Apr 10, 2012; Why did you post that?

Google thinks your recent search history seems more like a bot than a person. I have run into this when searching multiple times doing a search like 'site:forums.somethingawful.com "apples" "red panda" ' and then doing almost the same search but changing / adding things (because I'm not finding wat I'm looking for).The reason is because google thinks you're a bot hunting for web page ranks or that you're an automated search scraper. This can also be triggered by being on a shared network that is suddenly more active than is typical.

Clicking that link on the page gives a similar explanation.
