But even the most intelligent person in the universe is stupid where love
is concerned, ne? And Ranma eventually *did* mean it in the Dougi episode,
but then Genma and Souun messed it up. And Nabiki was doing that on purpose
to get Akane upset and jealous so that she would buy Ranma back.

	Right.  How about this, then:  Akane's intelligence level drops very 
drastically whenever anything about love is involved.  While most person does 
act a little below their normal intellgience level, Akane's case could be 
consider almost an extreme.  Someone as caring and smart as her should have know 
better, but jealousy and love really hits her especially hard.

Could be that... It's all due to her mother dying when she was little,
though! Blame Akane's mother for dying, don't blame poor Akane! Kasumi
was old enough to learn about sweetness and love and being a girl, but
Nabiki and Akane weren't! So, it's Akane's mother's fault!

Kun-chan...
