Chris,

I'd suggest you create your own test instead of using a standard
CAPTCHA.  The simplest way to resist spambots is to give them a
question they haven't seen on several thousand other sites - and you
can easily make it accessible for humans if you don't have to worry
about fooling the machines.  Take a look at
http://almaer.com/blog/logic-based-captcha-to-beat-the-blog-spam-bots
for a discussion of some possible questions at the end of the post.
