I put in fake names, addresses, email, phone numbers, and demographic info on mine.

My personal favorite was Tommy Tutone and the number I used was 8675309 with a zip code of 90210.

Lasted for a year and then they deleted it.

I'm a little less flippant now.

Hey, I've got the same phone number and zip code... were you born on the unix epoch too?
I recall hearing a stat at Yahoo orientation in 2004 that a very large % of Yahoo accounts had the zip code as 90210. I can't remember what it was, but I want to say something like 5-10%. Dramatically larger than any zip code could legitimately have.
