Clearly some lone editor had a grudge against hermeneutics, putting 'study' in scare quotes like that. AzureArmageddon 07:38, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Hypochondriac Oath: First, pretend to be sick! [[User:Elektrizikekswerk|Elektrizikekswerk]] ([[User talk:Elektrizikekswerk|talk]]) 13:05, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
:Nitpick: Hypochondriacs don't pretend to be sick, they believe they have an illness or are unduly worried about the possibility of having an illness. Someone who pretends to be sick is a malingerer. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.70.135|172.69.70.135]] 16:43, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

"A hippodrome is a circular arena" The classical Greek/Roman was not circular:
"One end of the ancient Greek hippodromos was semicircular, and the other end square with an extensive portico"
Maybe it would be more correct to talk about '''pairs''' of hypergolic substances?

I think the hyperbaric oath is probably referring to hyperbaric chambers, which are used in medical settings, such as treating scuba divers suffering from the bends. 14:08, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
:I wonder if the "holigraphic" one is directly inspired by [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67080941 this recent display]. (Although, by my reading, that's not ''really'' holographic, just an advanced form of stereographic display.) [[Special:Contributions/172.71.178.171|172.71.178.171]] 06:01, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

I missed the Hydroponic Oath (“first, maintain nutrient concentration”), the Hypocritic Oath (“first, judge others as you ''don't'' wish to be judged”), and the Hyperbolic Oath (“first, take two intersecting asymptotes”).

:Isn't the Hypocritic Oath just "First, don't do this"?

I prefer the Hypocritical oath (insert political party of your choosing here). [[Special:Contributions/172.71.219.106|172.71.219.106]] 17:29, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Quite surprised that he didn't include a "Hypocritical Oath".

I'm struggling to accept the shape of the hydroelectric turbine which appears more like a table fan to me. Is there something that could be explained? [[Special:Contributions/141.101.104.103|141.101.104.103]] 19:05, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
:Randall also had to draw all of the bricks in the wall. Maybe his hand was just tired. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.135.35|172.69.135.35]] 21:59, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
:{{w|Kaplan Turbine}}s are still popular and do indeed look just like that, ranging from 3-8 blades. There are other types, they all have their tradeoffs and sweet spots. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.38.8|172.70.38.8]] 21:23, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
