:D I saw this earlier linked on a listserve I read. I've actually said pretty much the same thing as the ornithologist in a moment of pedantry.

The best part was the alt text.

Quote:
Birds are Aves, which is part of the clade Theropoda, which is in Saurischia, which is in Dinosauria. Those birds outside our windows are dinosaurs. We can clear out the rest of our brains because we now have the best fact.

If I want to feel cool when I go birdwatching, I tell people I'm looking for dinosaurs.

At first glance, I figured Herpetology was the study of herpes.

Then Herps.

Then I finished reading the comic.

"Ok we aren't such things and birds are pretty advanced. They fly and shit from anywhere they want. While we sit on our automatic toilets, they're shitting on people and my car while a cool breeze tickles their anus. That's the life."

I knew what it was...

Edit: And if I hadn't, the first frame made it fairly apparent I'd think. But maybe that just the bias of already knowing.

It wasn't so much that it was difficult to infer, just that a field named "herpetology" would be amusing enough to double-check.
