We were always warned about the lizard people, but no one ever expected the amphibians.

I still don't expect the amphibians, since alligators are crocodilians.

Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians.

This makes no sense because those clades aren’t that closely related.

'Amphibian' is a specific grouping of creatures including frogs and toads, but also a general word for a creature that can operate both in and out of water. 'Amphibious' as an adjective can refer to a wide range of things, including vehicles, equipment and tactics that involve going from water to land and vice versa.

Taxonomy is ridiculous and the English language is a mess.

Pretty sure penguins are also not amphibians. Or seals.

Exploration is ill-advised.
The study of amphibians, the class of animal, specifically is batrachology.

Ironically, not all frogs are very good swimmers, though amphibians generally require water to breed.

Same facility fills cartons with both milk and almond milk, someone put the wrong packages on the machine and no one caught it because QC for "is this actually the right milk" is a low priority?

Doesn't surprise me. I remember going with my Mom to the Entenmann's Bakery when they'd have half price day and I could envision those little grannie ladies packing the store so worked up they'd be ready to powerbomb a wrestler over the last coffee cake on the shelf.

Alt-right catholic? They know who the pope is right? And how he said Marxist parties were the types of political parties catholics should support, right?
There are various groups of hardline traditionalist Catholics, and what Pope Francis has said are not considered statements of dogma (spoken ex cathedra and invoking papal infallability.) Some reject Vatican II, and there's plenty of picking and choosing that happens.

Edmund Blackadder Textbook, stuff again, you see. The criminals' vanity always makes them make one tiny, but fatal, mistake.
Theirs was to have their entire conspiracy printed and published in plain manuscript.
