I've got a PMC (poor man's captcha) that guards the comment submission 
for my blog (http://www.jamisbuck.org/jamis, and click a 'comment' link 
to see it). It's just plain text that must be entered backwards in a 
text box. Easily circumvented, 'tis true, but I haven't had a single 
spam comment on my blog since I implemented it.
