There's really no need to pay any attention to what's contained in the security questions at all unless you want to. The system cares not a whit what your input is, so you can simply choose a single, suitably complex pass-phrase and use it for any and all such questions.

E.g. for the question "Where where you born?" your answer can be the same long string of random characters which a password ought to contain or a phrase or sentence having absolutely zilch to do with your place of birth. That way you really only ever need to relate to two complex passwords/phrases if you use the same ones for every site or service you're subscribed to.

While not absolutely ideal from a security perspective, it's a lot easier than having different passwords and security answers for every site and also a hell of a lot more secure than "123456".
