Last night, I set some security questions for an online account. The page had a dropdown of about 5 questions to choose from, then a textbox to enter the answer. I chose "What year did you graduate high school?" and filled in: 1999. I clicked OK, and it came back to me with this error: "You have entered too many identical characters."

That's the form's subtle way of telling you you're old now!

Be more creative

"In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred ninety-nine"

-or-

"What kind of question is that, you stupid web site?!"

both of which would be accepted without demur.

But...

"nineteen hundred ninety-nine" has *8* identical n's .P

And anyway, am I really gonna remember that I was a smart-ass to my security question? .)
