I'd read somewhere about a method for spam control where you throw an
extra field into your form that should always be blank.  You hide it
with css so the users don't see it.  When the spambots come through
and fill in all the blanks, you discard it based on whether your
hidden field is filled in or not.

Beats those "crazy whacked-out images" any day.
