Theology: Study of non-existent things, the worship of non-existent
things and the rules handed down by non-existent things that provide
us with a code to live by.

P.E.: Deeply unfair session of exercise, where sporty kids smugly
demonstrate their physical superiority over other kids. Imbues a sense
of competition into sporty kids and a healthy love of exercise and
intimidation, while it imbues a lifelong sense of injustice and
loathing in non-sporty kids.

Geology: A lifetime of studying for enthusiasts, who learn the
ultimate truth that the planet is largely made of rock. Or rocks under
water.
