   cynical password recovery questions

   We've all seen the usual password recovery questions about childhood pets and   
   favorite grade school teachers.  They're supposed to be secure, but other   
   people   
   may still know the answers for some of them.  Here's a set of more realistic   
   questions that are less likely to be guessed.   
      
      
      
   What is the name of your least favorite child?   
      
   In what year did you abandon your dreams?   
      
   What is the maiden name of your father's mistress?   
      
   At what age did your childhood pet run away?   
      
   What was the name of your favorite unpaid internship?   
      
   In what city did you first experience ennui?   
      
   What is your ex-wife's newest last name?   
      
   What sports team do you fetishize to avoid meaningful discussion with others?   
      
   What is the name of your favorite canceled TV show?   
      
   On what street did you lose your childlike sense of wonder?   
      
   When did you stop trying?
