* WizardingSchool: Unseen University, which exists as much to keep the current wizards out of trouble as it does to raise the next generation of them. There's also Bugarup University in Xxxx, and, just recently, Brazeneck University in Quirm, with references at least one more in Pseudopolis and possibly many others.

Changed lines 105 from:
* CrazyPrepared: Commander Samuel Vimes has setup numerous traps at his home and office to deal with those pesky Assassins, to the point that some of the more mean-spirited instructors have begun sending out students to do "mock assassinations." If they can draw a bead on him with a crossbow, they pass. Good luck.
**[[MagnificentBastard Lord Vetinari]] doesn't need to be Crazy Prepared, he is Crazy Informed. *** But ''also'' Crazy Prepared -- he reinforced his own dungeon door so it was lockable from ''inside,'' just in case he ever got thrown in there and needed to hold off an angry mob.

Changed lines 126 from:
* MadeOfPhlebotinum: This {{verse}} can seem ordinary enough at first glance, until it's pointed out that, without heavy duty magic involved, a flat world on the back of a giant turtle that swims through space should be utterly impossible.

** The magic is so thick that it 'slows down light' to create timezones on the disc. Magic heavy areas also completely and utterly play with the laws of physics, making the entire world plausible.
