I've stumbled upon a clever way to stop bots from accessing dynamic

It's so obvious but I've never thought about it lol.

This article has /brilliant/ captcha ideas by the way:

My all-time favorites are:

* Gentoo Wiki captcha

* Mathematical analysis captcha (it won't look good in input prompts
  though, however unicode has enough math symbols)
