Line 13 ⟶ 15:
* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: [[Troll|The Repository of Lost Legends]]
* [[Glurge]]: A whole section on it, in-universe (and they are the [[Trope Namer]]).
* [[Politically-Motivated Teacher]]: Quite a few [[Urban Legends]] archived and discussed here have such teachers, typically involving them teaching a lesson to their students or getting into a fracas with a student of a different political alignment. A few examples (of varying degrees of truth) include [http://www.snopes.com/college/exam/socialism.asp a professor giving his students a hands-on lesson about socialism], [http://www.snopes.com/glurge/nodesks.asp a teacher having veterans come into her class to impart patriotism to her students], and a [[Hollywood Atheist]] [http://www.snopes.com/religion/chalk.asp professor attempting to disprove the existence of God...] by dropping a piece of chalk.
** The latter of these also mentions [http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0055/0055_01.asp a similar] [[Chick Tracts|Chick Tract]].
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: The Repository of Lost Legends ([[Fun with Acronyms|T. R. O. L. L.]]), which purports to be just as true as the rest of the site. It isn't. Humorously, a TV series on urban legends [http://www.snopes.com/humor/mediagoofs/sixpence.asp fell for one] of the joke entries.
