Well, misc is never inappropriate for something that doesn't fit in other categories. By definition. :] Anyway, I get your point. I can create "science" if people want it. (We *do* have at least one or two ports to put there, right?) * It occurred to me that "science" or "scientific" might not be the best * name for this directory.... Albeit a bit long, "physicalsciences" or * something like that might be a little more descriptive for the topics on * hand, while "dumbsciences" would have subdirs such as "political", etc. Well, those are usually called "natural sciences" and "social sciences" if you want to get technical. The college where I did my undergrad (the University of Tokyo) had this "everything has to be some kind of science" mentaility, so all classes (other than PE) were either classified in either natural sciences, social sciences or humanities (called "humanity sciences" in Japanese). But I digress. I think we all know what "science" means in general terms. Just like in elementary school. Is that ok? (Hmm, does that mean that mathematics is not science...?)
