365 Days of Knowlege #48 and 49

Supposedly the world is ending on December 21st 2012. I learned that people will do anything for a buck because if you go to this website you can buy your very own end of the world souvenirs. Definitely something worth investing in. I mean, who doesn't want their very own Doomsday Snuggie? I wonder if they have 12212012 Sham Wows.....

Today I was visiting with a client of mine and he was telling me how he just finished reading a biography about Harry Houdini. I learned that Harry Houdini took a year away from the stage during WWI to help with war efforts. During this time Harry taught soldiers how to get out of handcuffs. Good thing they didn't let him visit a prison.
