Why does herpetology have such mammaries?

Boobology, because we suck titties in infancy. I have nipples can't you milk me?

Mammals DO suck, presumably on herpetology’s truly impressive mammae.

A herpetoligist collects reptiles. Someone who collects herpes is called your mom.

Do you qualify as a scientist if you're studying it involuntarily?

Derpatology - the study of memes

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Memeology and memeography are the only true meme sciences, everything else is a derivative repost.

Anybody interested in hOrnitology?

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Wow, get the hose! This user is really committed to the bit.

Please don’t stop. Hornyness is a gift.
