I've seen one blog where in order to comment, you have to answer the question "What color is a green orange?" I presume he gets spambots which all answer "orange" and get blocked from commenting, or more commonly which leave that input blank (since it's a non-standard input field) and also get blocked.

But it just occurred to me that you could ask "what color is a green eggplant?" for a similar result. Though you'd catch a lot of people who, like me before I looked up fruits that aren't green when unripe, assume that all unripe fruits are green. (They aren't, unripe eggplants are white and look like eggs, hence the name).
