The Study of Escalators

So far, today has been good to me. I think I did decently on my prelim, did well on my medieval studies paper (which I turned into a creative writing parodying medieval romances... I may post it once I edit it), received a good grade on my survey of jazz paper, and am satisfied with the other paper I'm turning in today. It also helps that it is absolutely beautiful outside today.

So today in medieval studies, my professor for some reason began talking about the end of the world (he goes on tangents) and came to something called "eschatology" (don't look it up yet, I'll explain). I immediately assumed what you too are probably assuming, but here's the deal:

Eschatology
Is sadly not the study
Of escalators


I was really hoping that somehow our professor was going to talk about escalators, considering their awesomeness and all (speaking of which, we need one for Libe slope), but that's not the case. Eschatology, is in fact, a study (Well, not really a study... more like a concept) relating to the end of the world. Experts in the field include R.E.M. and the Mayans.
