These last few posts are going to be fairly short for a few reasons. One, finding 'ologies is becoming more and more difficult near the end of the alphabet. Second, I'm officially on vacation! Au revoir cold French weather. Hell-o hot Orlando, Florida. But rest assured, I will be visiting blogs--right after I'm done puking from riding the spinning tea cups and forced to recuperate a few days on the beach, sipping away on something fruity with a cocktail umbrella in it.

Now, on with our wicked W_ology word
Ok, so whoology isn't a real scientific 'ology, but I couldn't resist. Plus, would you believe W is one of those letters that is seriously lacking in ologies. Good thing I happened on this book, because really, need I look any further?
Description from BBC Shop website:
The official miscellany, celebrating 50 years of Doctor Who.
Who are the members of the Doctor’s family? What are the 20 best ways to defeat a Dalek? What are the galactic coordinates of Gallifrey?

Other wacky W_ologies I just made up
Wannabewriterology: The study of people who want to be writers but who suck at it. I've been one of their prime test subjects.
Woohooology: The study of woo-hooing with excitement after getting an agent or publishing contract.
Wookieeology: The scientific study of the Wookie.
Wienerology: The study of the Oscar Mayer wiener and associated paraphernalia and not of the other one you're thinking about . . . gutter brain. :P
