I truly hate this practice. It's like the password recovery options on most sites that only give you a handful of generic questions that could be easily guessed based on publicly known data. I stopped using a bank not long ago because they did this and the hardest question they could come up with was "what was your high school mascot?".

Uhmmm, you use a bullshit answer that nobody could ever guess?

'What was your favourite pet?'

Answer: Gwar rules the universe.
