I thought this was a good strategy too until some one said that a customer service rep once asked him one of the questions over the phone and, lacking his backed up security questions at hand, he just said "it is a bunch of random characters" and was let through...

Probably the best bet is using a passphrase here but it might not be fool proof.

I've started to make up answers that could be accurate, but aren't obvious / the first thing someone would guess. For example, if the question is "where were you born?", I pick a random city.
