Cartology

In addition to what a purely literal reading of the word suggests ("the study of maps") it is also the ancient art of divination of future events through maps and charts based on geographical features of the real world. One who is trained in the practice of these sacred rituals is called a Cartologist. This honorable profession is not to be confused with the mere trade of the "Cartographer" who can only be considered a technician in comparison. A true Cartologist has been endowed with the skills to foretell one's path in life by observing the intricate geometrical figures on any kind of topographical map (that is reasonably accurate) depicting the subject's immediate surroundings at the moment of the soothsaying. It has also been described as "navigational forecasting" and "finding one's way" with the clear intention of alluding to the spiritual connotations of said expressions.

We're lost! We will have to consult the map. Is there anyone here who's been inaugurated to the cult of Cartology?
Let the Cartologist read the map! He will know where we're going.

Crapology

Crapology: the study of anything that does not reach a high standard as set by the majority of stake holders. Subject is generally a singular object or noun that many people submit evidence on to be reviewed by a group. An example might be crap photos of birds. Criteria to be met may include blurred images, poor placement of the subject, poor distance.

Any object may become the subject of a study in its crappiness. The only criteria is that people must volunteer to judge the object objectively without feeling and bias.

Studying the crappiness of any subject requires a PhD in crapology
