The Best Idea Ever
You know those little “puzzles” you have to figure out before signing up for a site or posting a blog comment? Techies term the feature “CAPTCHA,” while everyone else calls them “annoying.” Anyway, some hackers have added a new twist to the formula: Demonstrate that you are a real human by picking the three hottest girls (or guys) from a grid of nine. It’s an entertaining use of the HOT or NOT database (UC Berkeley’s cherished contribution to the dotcom world).
Check it out, it’s a lot of fun. For added challenge, try the Male version. My roommates and I tried it tonight. There’s nothing like three straight guys having a good time trying to pick out the hottest guys on the Internet.

I can only see this an escalation into someting more bizzar.
