Coincidence being the key word. Your view on all of this is nothing short of ridiculous. Those 'secret questions' which you refer to - sometimes called memorable questions - can be based on absolutely anything, for example pet's name, favourite colour, first car, a capital city etc etc etc. In fact in some cases you can even create a question of your own! So let's say I opted for the 'first car' choice which in my case was a Mazda, does that mean I should keep that information secret?? Picture this scenario, Jim and I chatting about cars over a pre gig drink... "So what was your first car then Stevie?". "Oh I'm sorry mate, I'm afraid I cant tell you that!".

You seem to be overlooking the fact that these questions are asked with a series of others, for example name, current address, former address, date of birth, account numbers, recent transactions etc. Anyone can take a guess at say a favourite colour, and have a fair chance of getting it right, but as for the other information....

As for YOUR secret question, all I can say is God help you if you've chosen 'What is your favourite band?'.

haha, yeah I see what you're saying. Of course the chat about cars over a drink is not a problem, its only when the information is presented in a nice easy to harvest format that it has the potential to be exploited. The forum is probably alright because the list of information you've posted is unlikely to be complied on here somewhere, but when things like these are posted on sites like Facebook and Twitter, and without adequate privacy settings, then there's a chance that they can be used. I can never decide on my favourite band but the Stranglers are probably in the top two :wink:

Ravenette's remark made me wodner if anybody has ever been christened Parasite. :shock: And bloody hell, you know what, there were three Parasites in the US in 1880. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Parasite Clayton and Parasite Henson in South Carolina and Parasite West in Illinois.They were all female, which is probably evidence of how their fathers viewed women??

That's the end of today's Strange But True. :grin:

God only knows why I invested any thought into this thread, but somehow I got drawn in, a friend of mine had a dog called Dusty and lived in Canon Street. Dusty Canon, sounds like a retired porn star.
I'll see you in the sewer!!!
