Oh, let's do talk about ologies some more!
One of my kids asked me today whether I knew about:
thugonomics.
Well, that's not an ology at all, I realize, but I thought I'd slip it in here.
But back to areology, wwh. What's your favorite ology? Mine is herpetology. One must refer to a herpetologist audibly when walking through the reptile house at zoos. It's simply a requirement.

... and I thought, before I read the definition, that "areology" was soil science. Go figger.

or the study of nipples.
But all the articles only discuss their subject in a round-about way.

Amd a tiny long tailed critter can quadruple the area and
brown them a bit.

Well, you lost me, Bill. Maybe you can explain the longtailed critter in a PM.
However, onward with areology and another ology that is somewhat related:
aretalogy
n. - relation of wonderful deeds of a god or hero.
Although aretalogy isn't exactly an ology, am it.
