    Reminds me of Gen Schwarzkopf. During the Gulf War (the first one) he did a lot of press briefings. One reporter asked about a bit of dubious speculation by some military pundit and Schwarzkopf said (I think this is right) "I would describe that report as bovine scatology."

    isn't SCAT also a form of musical expression???

    "In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with random vocables and nonsense syllables or without words at all. Scat singing gives singers the ability to sing improvised melodies and rhythms, to create the equivalent of an instrumental solo using their voice." Ref - WIKI

    So could SCAT-ology also be the study of impromptu Jazz singing???

    Doesn't "scatalogical" study involve religion? No, I'm being serious here - seems I remember the word used in that context....
