Most spambots don't fill all fields, so that wouldn't work.

The spambot already needs to know to type "inspiration" or "science" into a field when prompted, or answer what Dean Kamen's first name is, or answer what day of the week it is. Presumably, it's not a spambot doing that part of registration.
