"Preppers" and "Gloom and Doom"

Just for fun... I did a Wikipedia Search for "Preppers" and "Gloom and Doom."

Can you guess what pages I was redirected to for each term? (Go on try it.)




TSA allowing small pocket knives on passenger planes


Whoo Hooo! I really am so glad about this! Now before anyone freaks out, I am the type of person who says if that's the rule for me to fly... OK I'll comply. But, I'm a knife guy who thinks this is one of the more stupidly ENFORCED rules. I have bought Lots from TSA of knives that have been confiscated to re-sell in my Knife Sharpening business, and some of the items they seized were an embarrassment. Expensive Grandmother's thread clipping scissors not bigger than a crayon, Swiss army keychain knives that would make you more angry than hurt if stabbed, Father-of-the bride engraved money clips with 1 in. knife. Come on!
