up by writing (in the first small paragraph) that this is a very rare
ASTROLOGICAL event!!

Can this really be? Have i been misled by this NG and astrology is

really
true?? Please don't say yes!!


But it is one of those too. And probably something rare enough that
their "rules" don't even cover it. I predict that a few folk with eye
damage may result from looking at the sun with unfiltered optical
devices.

Seriously though, don't they ever read their transcripts?


Probably not.

As does this reporter I posted about a few days ago on the 17th. Post

Spare a thought for the poor hacks though. Astro-logy / -nomy is an
oddball.

They *may* have been trying to get it right - study of most other
subjects is X-logy :
Aerology, Biology, Cytology, Cosmology, Dendrology, Ecology, Geology,
Horology, Immunology, Lithology, Meteorology, Mycology, Neurology,
Ontology, Psychology, Physiology, Petrology, Radiology, Sociology,
Theology, Tribology, Urology, Virology, Vulcanology, Xylology,
Zoology...

F,J,K,Q,W,Y escape a casual alphabetic list - any offers?


Futurology, the study of the future
Japanology, the study of Japanese culture
Killology, the study of human beings killing other human beings (Grossman's
Theory)
Koniology, the study of dust and germs in the atmosphere
Kinesiology, the study of movement in relation to human anatomy; a branch of
medicine
Koreanology, the study of Korea
Kremlinology, the study of communist Soviet Union
Kymatology, the study of waves or wave motions

None I could find for Q, W Y, sorry
