I'm supposed to be studying

I have to go with "food porn". What the...?

Also I'd like to know what cryptozoology and ethology are. I'm too lazy to look them up.

Food Porn - cook books and recipe books with lots of pictures. Looking at them is almost as good as making the meal and eating it. We have shleves full of food porn in our kitchen. The Food Porn group is just a cooking/food group and very useful for random questions about cooking and stuff.

Cryptozoology - The study of animals not yet recognised by science. If it wasn't for cryptozoology the okapi and lowland gorilla wouldn't have been discovered. Some popular cryptids include the Loch Ness Monster and Sasquatch. My favourite is Mkele Mobembe - a supposed sauropod dinosaur that lives in the Congo rainforest (ever see the old movie Baby? It was all about it.) I'd love to go to the Congo and find the REAL Mkele Mobembe, which I believe is an as yet unidentified species of rhinocerous. They've also recently discovered a few large mammals in parts of Vietnam that we never knew of before because Western scientists weren't allowed into the area. Try www.cryptozoology.com

Ethology is just a fancy word for the study of animal behaviour.
