Recognizing Your Own Handwriting As A Password

Gary writes "A new online authentication system called Dynahand could make logging in to websites a little easier. With Dynahand, users simply identify their own handwriting, instead of entering a cryptic password or buying a biometric device to scan their fingerprints. The user's handwriting samples contain only digits, since numerals are harder for an outside party to recognize than letters are. The digits displayed are random, so the handwriting is the only clue to the correct answer."

WTF

I've got a simpler idea, why don't we just ask people a simple true/false question. I've got the first:

A single html radio-button form-based multiple choice question is a reasonable security measure.
A) True
B) False

But I think there should be an option "C," though that would make this not a real t/f question:
C) WTF?!

That's the greatest caught masturbating at work coverup I've ever heard.
