[pyrnpmdz] 9/11 security question

Some variation (user specified) of "What were you doing when 9/11 happened?" might make a good password recovery security question, as the answer is not so easy for a stranger to look up (in contrast to, e.g., "What school did you attend?")

It might be easy to socially engineer.

Cool idea, though as time goes by more and more young users will have no such memory! :)
