 Cataclysmatonomy is actually the theoretical study of Cataclysmic Events. It's full of "what ifs" and "maybes" but no real solid facts. Cataclysmatology, on the other hand, is backed by any recorded facts which can be located. Cataclysmatonomy has had a good number of followers, but most of them discover that Cataclysmatology is what they really want to be studying and switch over. Those who do continue to study that field are rather good at what they do -- we have had emergency plans in place for each and every one of a supposed Cataclysmic Event. The events themselves range from the drastic (ie. [[Pinky]] and [[Perky]] suddenly and violently becoming one celestial object) to the boring (ie. [[Pinky]] and [[Perky]] suddenly and violently staying right where they are) to the silly (ie. [[Pinky]] and [[Perky]] getting renamed to Moon and Satellite.)
-In his second paper, ''The Study of Cataclysms and Their Causes'', Mr. Jhostings wrote about the history of our planet and what many events might have befallen it in the past. Through his studies, he made note of more than 100 individual events which happened between -2200 [[EC]] and -2000 [[EC]], the most recent of which was in -2004 [[EC]] and involved a house exploding for no apparent reason.  Apparently, no one was killed in the explosion, but the house and surrounding buildings were destroyed completely.

-'''Cataclysmatology''' is the study and measure of cataclysmic events.  While this might seem like a dangerous field to be studying, what with the usual outcome of cataclysmic events, it is actually a relatively boring subject.  Granted, the early history is filled with Cataclysmic events; almost one every other day.  Recent history hasn't been so unfortunate.  The most recent event of note for Cataclysmatologists was in -20 [[EC]] when Pelon Peak erupted, nearly destroying the town of [[Ellensworth]].

-A '''Cataclysmic Event''' is defined as "any event which has the outcome of destroying or nearly destroying a large area of land or property."  In -306 [[EC]], Arthir Jhostings discovered that, just before an event of such magnitude that it could be considered cataclysmic, there is a calm feeling in everyone, even the normally uncalm people.  He found this out because shortly after the calm feeling he had noticed, a space rock fell to the ground near [[Folktown]] and caused the death of 15 children, who had been playing happily in the fields.  Once the event had passed, everyone went back to their previous state of calm or non-calm, as the case may have been.
