From the RCT:

Made Of Meat: Silly Trombley! If you have the right attitude, ALL science is mad science!
Little Serge: Even Archaeology?
Jethro Q Walrustitty: Linguistics are a science. Can it be mad?
Made Of Meat: Black Speech. And maybe some Brown Note.
AOD: Any science can be mad. Computer Science can be mad. Even climatology, what I am doing, can be mad climatology if you do it...

... with enough WILLPOWER AND DETERMINATION!!!

Tangent 128: OK, what's the Mad Scientist version of ergonomics? tongue
Haven: What about mad phrenology?

...Wait, how would you have sane phrenology?

Tangent 128: Headcrabs?
Dire Sloth: I imagine mad phrenology would involve forcibly changing the shape of a person's skull to alter their personality.
Zephid: Mad psephology would probably involve throwing pebbles at the local comptroller.
