From Geoff Lane

A few suggestions: “This page contains all valid proofs of methods to trisect
an angle or square a circle using ruler and compass” or “This page lists all
known even prime numbers greater than two” or “This empty page contains two
lies”.

Incidentally, I would seriously consider avoiding any airline whose technical
staff had so much trouble with the number 13.
