random linguisticky question:

[fox]

why are practicioners of (or students in) some fields ending in -ology described as whatever-ologists, while others are described as whatever-ologians?  (in fact, besides 'theologian', are there other -logians?  i can't think of any off the top of my head ...)

That is a truly excellent joke.

Erm... I have no answer to the question actually posed.
