> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I knew he was a mathematician but I couldn’t think of another alternative, and then I figured enough people might just go with it that it was worth putting it down (since correctness doesn’t matter–only number of people who choose it). And I probably would have done the same, if I hadn’t been able to think of another alternative. As it turns out, that’s what I should have done, since nobody else seems to have come up with the alternative I went with (“Awakenings”). ---

> [@cmkeller](#): > > Is mathematics not a branch of science? Must “science” means only physical science? It depends on your definition of science. But I don’t typically think of mathematicians as scientists, because they’re typically engaged in different sorts of activities or use different methods. If you want to explore the question further, you could peruse old threads like [What is a scientist?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=517000) [Is maths a science?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=305657) ---

I thought _The King’s Speech_ would do better – almost specified it as an excluded answer when I wrote this one, actually. Oh well – Top Ten ain’t bad for my own feud, I usually tank on mine. ---
