You divide up the sciences but reduce the arts to one category? Don't you know that the arts include humanities, social sciences, fine arts, performance arts, etc?
Remember trhat these are the millenium rankings; the subjects you mention were only recognized academic disciplines for a teeny tiny part of the last 1000 years.  Mostly we are concerned with the seven artes liberales, which IIRC are comprised of Astronomy, Geometry, Arithmetic, Logic, Wizardry, Muleskinnery, and Grammar. - DvF

Yes, but hu does have a rankings list for the 20th century, so why not include a division of the "Arts" for that list alone?

Muleskinnery? WTF?

Do you want a career in science? Sure, you do!

Not at all.  Assfleshery is a specialization taught only at the finest postgraduate institutions and is not available in the average undergraduate curriculum.

Oh. My. God. 

I am so glad I kept reading this thread after my initial WTF? reaction.  It is truly a beautiful thing to behold. 

Bwahahahahahah!

If a pouting pluot ploughman planted pluots in a plot, and the plot were ploughed on Pluto, would his pluot ploy play out?
