O_o ... err... HOW did Ranma get to be able to produce milk? Did someone

kid, and Akane got pregnant, but the kid died? Ummmm....???
Since this is Ranma 1/2, we can use:
1) Its a sympathetic hormonal reaction - akin to why women who live together
start to have their periods coincide.
2) Its a feature of the Jusenkyo pool that Ranma fell into (when all else
fails, fall back on this one).
3) It is Ranma's child, so the Akane giving birth triggered the ability in
Ranma's female form (and if you thought Akane was going to pass that
opportunity up, think again).
4) This is Ranma 1/2 - We don't have to explain anything.
Okay... okay... I can buy that Ranma produces milk... but how does -HE-
do it? Ranma was in male form, from the looks of fic short. 'He lifts his
shirt' ... ara? Mihoshi is confused! he should have at least been in
female form for it, ne? Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't know a man could
produce milk. @_@
I saw an article in the "New Scientist" magazine recently that talked
about some studies that were being done of a situation that occurred in a
Chinese PoW camp during the Korean War. Some of the prisoners (all
males) developed breasts and started lactating.
The theory being proposed was that some hormonal imbalance developed
because of the malnutrition suffered by the prisoners. The doctors
involved in the study were interested in the possibility of achieving
this effect reliably, without having to maltreat the subject.
Just goes to show... all things are possible, even if they are difficult
to bring about.
