Hey! isn't that where all those fish with feet bumperstickers come from? I
liked those :P

I have NO idea.

I have no idea, either ... but three cheers for Darwin being vaporised!
Yay! Yaaaay!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!

Waiwai! Ureshiiiiiii!!!!

   (I feel obliged to ask just what's so bad about Darwin...)
   On the story: (to be filed under "Life Imitates Art")
   Given what is known about the "real" (manga) Nodoka's odd ideas about 
"manliness" (late in the manga I believe she praises Ranma at one point 
for his supposed peeping on Akane--Miss Seawright can confirm this better 
than I can), are you quite sure this Nodoka (evidently supposed to be 
quite out of character) is so out of character after all? :)
   On that: does Nodoka (in the manga, I mean) ever learn of how her son was 
engaged to at least two girls (hence his predicaments)?
