Unusual lost password security questions

My complaint with most sites' lost password log in security questions is that they're usually bullshit. If I'm serious about stealing your identity, your mother's maiden name and the city you were born in are trivial.

Huntington Bank has the usual plus some with a twist, not to mention a sense of humor:
What is your favorite musical instrument?
What was your first job?
What is your greatest fear?
What is your favorite historical figure?
What sports team do you love to see lose?
What is the last name of your favorite author?
What is the name of your favorite comic book hero or cartoon character?
What is the first name of your best friend from childhood?
What was the make and model of the first car you owned?
What is the last name of your favorite teacher?
What is your favorite fruit or vegetable?
