A lot of you may have seen this on Slashdot. For what it''s worth, Microsoft is doing research with inkblots and passwords. But that''s not the point. At the bottom of the article, they have a series of inkblots just for the heck of it. I ask you one question: Does this look like what I think it does?

An interesting thing to note though is that if you showed that ink blot to a random person on the street who had never seen goatse, would they say, "Why sir, that certainly looks like a man tearing open his asshole?" No they wouldn''t. However we see goatse because our unconscious mind wants us to.

I suppose thats why they could be so useful for passwords -- most people see different things in them.

Maybe so, but I''ve seen the goatse(and cried like a little girl because of it), but I still don''t see it in everything. Did you guys go back and keep looking at it or something?
