Check out Amazon's new Mechanical Turk initiative. It seems to involve earning small payments for completing captcha-style tasks. It's broken at the moment, but this still seems like a pretty interesting development.

What, now we're only visiting the non-evil parts of the internet?

Evil or not, those tasks are totally depressing. PWNcha tasks might be more fulfilling.
