Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

Security questions are an utter pain. I met one once where there were three questions, all compulsory, all hopelessly vague. ("Who was your inspirational figure as a child?") Another time I couldn't remember exactly how I'd punctuated my hometown. And my mother had terrible trouble when the security question for an email account my brother-in-law had set up for her turned out to be "What is your favourite breed of dog?" and, not being a dog person, she had no idea what she might have answered. We never did figure that one out, but we did eventually get into the account by pleading with customer support.
