# This should use the Requests library to grab a list of titles of wiki pages in the Electromagnetism
# category, filter out everything that isn't a two-word title, make sets out of the first and second
# words of each title, and then spit out ten mix-and-match nonsense titles. Then Flask should spit that
# into the title parameter for the template in titles.html.
# Test list:
# ['No feigning surprise', 'No well-actuallys', 'No backseat driving', 'No subtle -isms', 'Two strings', 'Quantum heat']
