Well, isn't that good that I happen to think that Ranma and Akane should be
married....and Shampoo boiled alive in hot wax...and Ryoga *not* get it with

Ukyo is MUCH better for him (Unless you want him misstress...)

	Shampoo should go with Mousse.  It is the only logical way to match them 
up.  

	Why?
	Shampoo has, to my knowledge (I do not have access to most of the
later manga), shown no semblance of romantic interest toward Mousse.  At
best, she probably sees him as a rather annoying brother and occasional
pawn to smack around whenever he becomes too much of a pest (if she really
_hated_ him, he would probably be dead by now).
	As for Mousse, he just as bad as Kuno if you think about it. 
Despite _repeated_ and unambiguous rejection (verbal and physical) from
Shampoo on a constant basis, he does nothing but continue his pursuit and
attack his competition.  Face facts, the man needs therapy.
	I am not saying that Shampoo should get Ranma (although with the
way Akane treats the boy, I can see why Shampoo keeps trying to get him
away from her), I am just wondering why everybody assumes she _must_ get
stuck with Mousse.
