And this is why most security questions are utterly useless. I should not only be able to provide the answers, you should let me pick my own questions too. "Where were you born?" isn't secure at all and easily picked up from publicly available information.
A creative answer to a insecure question can be more secure then we realize. The question "Where were you born?" could be answered:
1. Third floor
2. Near Mom
3. xTown
4. NH0sP1T@l
5. b0St0nm@ss
6. t@xiC@bb
Just takes a little creativity and a good memory, and a handy password safe.
