"I disagree. Humor, and other portions of "mind" are off-limits to science and their study would reside inside philosophy."
That's true only if you make the assumption that the mind is part of a magical "other realm"... which is nothing more than an assumption.

so what if there was a study in whihc 1000 people in one city are shown 10 jokes, and then people rate them, here we have data. something that could be observed perhaps?? and here we could say something to the effect of, most people in this city enjoy this type of humor the most.
hehe
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

It is MUCH too late to delete all those off topic posts now, right, Mr. Mushrooms? 
*looks at Kaiowas and smirks, sort of like this: *
Good thread, twas a very interesting read. The only thing I have to add is about "tools"... they evolve with us. What is limited now is limited by us... or something. Will science ever encompass all? I think that depends on how far we evolve science.... I think the complete picture will come from looking at the whole fucking tree, not just one or two limbs... Peace.

the overall lack of knowledge is mastery of self [spirit, body, soul] and the understanding of the relationship between materialism (which all derived from Mother earth --> Universe) and Nature. its overall powerful abilities are [attempt to] practicalism, illumination and manifestation of the material plane. ie: computers, cars offtopic Science is just a cover definition for Magick. hehe for instance, theoretical physics like Quantum Cosmology is very much like Divinatory magick without the traditional components. the ward-robe, the staff, bat poo, merlin-like scientists blabbing incoherently. what are the tools? Mathematics of numbers, letters, symbols, and combinations. And lastly, curiosity and imagination. Science itself serves a purpose. it'll have its strengths and weaknesses.

The limitations of science is apparent.
to me science, is nothing but a reference to the unknown that is forever manifesting itself, logged and preached by people trying to understand it.
example, when people discover and master certain paranormal aspects (i'm sure this will happen) a log will be created. this log is science itself, it is a reference to the unknown therefore inferior.
but what if science one day catches up with all the mysteries of the unknown?
would this mean God?
