Next generation spam captcha

This is hilarious; I don’t know whether it was put up as an April Fool’s gag, or just a gag in passing, but do check out the “captcha” on searchguild.

Go down to the bit where it says “To prove you’re human place the index finger of your dominant hand in the red box. Hold it there whilst clicking Submit.” Then read the “what’s this”.

Can you imagine a dumb spammer actually sticking his finger out there?

Plus, the interesting part; usually, the dominant hand is also used for the mouse - so how do you stick your finger plus click at the same time?? If anyone can think of a good technique to do both at the same time, speak up!!!!
