Anyone with a loud mouth.
The Fox News Channel is a haven for behemouths.

I wish that behemouth would just shut the hell up.

pitology 

It is simply the study of pits. Of course, a pitlologist must pick a field to specialize in (e.g., watermelon pits, BBQ pits, or the study of pitiful situations and puns).
When I grow up I want to study pitology since I'm so good at falling into them. I'm going to study pits in the Amazon, Aztec ruins, ancient Buddhist temples, and various tombs in Egypt and India.

The third and last album by Nick Drake, recorded in two two-hour midnight sessions in October of 1971. The album consisted only Nick Drake's guitar and vocals. This album is widely considered Nick Drake's best. Initially capturing a small amount of critical attention, it received more acclaim after his death and even more listeners since the VW commercial used the title track for the Cabrio in 2000.
Pink Moon is such a mellow and beautiful song. I let it lull me to sleep one night. It's sad and tragic to know such a talented musician died so young and at a stage in his life when things were looking brighter.
