Captcha for non-dummies

I suppose this is a sign that spammers are getting smarter and have figured out how to get past the typical “captcha” that keeps those idiots from posting crap to websites and blogs, and in comment threads. (Captchas are designed to make sure that someone submitting a web form is actually a human.)

Here’s a captcha that I ran into the other day. Ugh. It’s not exactly a user-friendly way to encourage someone to post to your website. It takes some real dedication to slog through this one.

(Sorry, I don’t remember which site I spotted this on. I grabbed a screen shot and stored it, and by the time I spotted this on my desktop I’d forgotten where I found this.)
