speak up; I can't hear you here on this mountaintop

have any other folks noticed the little wheelchair/disabled symbol next to the comment verification on blogger.com? I assumed it was for people who can't see well and was an audio cue for the code to type to verify that you're actually a human and not some robotpornspammer. But clicking the icon only gives a series of unrelated numbers, some read by a man and some by a child. what gives? is this just a cruel joke on the disabled? "let's see how many times they type in those useless numbers....muahahahaha!"

someone, please enlighten me. try it for yourself.

after more experimentation, it appears that typing in the series of numbers it gives you will also suffice for leaving a comment.

In any case, it probably isn't working so well if it requires explanation! ;)
