anti-spam

Just so you know, "how many ears do you have" has two answers:

"2"
"two"

One of these doesn't seem to work (two). Yes I got the wrong one on my first register attempt.

What if you've been in an accident and you only have one or none at all? This forum discriminates against disabled people. >:(

When you can't go on, just accept your doom. It comes to all, it is inevitable.

Also I totally had the name BEFORE the cruiser.

Yeah. Thankfully he was very gracious about it.

I've just changed the question to be less discriminatory :)

LOL at this issue. 

My favorite CAPTCHA has always been the one at LionHead Studios.  It's a series of pictures of cartoon lion faces (smilies) and it says "which of these is angry" or "which of these is happy". 

Very simple for a human, very hard for a computer.

I immediately thought of some person laughing maniacally as they use facial recognition software to ascertain the mood of the lion, and bypass the protection.
