Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.

The site, in 1994

A fact-checking site that looks into urban legends, rumours and viral claims. It began life as the Urban Legends Reference Pages.

David Mikkelson took the name from a family of unpleasant characters in William Faulkner's novels, first as his username on Usenet. By 2010 the site drew seven to eight million visitors a month.

In 1994: David and Barbara Mikkelson started it as an urban folklore site, built from their posts on the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
