	Hi, Today's been prety slow on the ML, so I decided to throw out a few 
of the strange concepts that're always bouncing inside what I tenatively call my 
mind.

1 A story where Ranma learns that he's the granson of the Monkey king.  Genma 
has a number of character traits in common with Sun Wu Kung, especially before 
he became a monk.

2 Aliens land in Nerima and offer Ryouga a job as ship Navigator.  It turns out 
that the reason Ryouga's so bad with directions is because he instinctively 
attempts to navigate by Hyperspatial geometry rather than earth's actual 
geometry.

3 An idea for KOR, have Kyosuke meet a member of an esper clan from another 
country.  As to how each realises what the other is, here's a few possibilities: 
Aura sight, the other esper can see aura's and Espers aura's are distinctly 
different from most peoples.  Astral Projection:  The esper, or another member 
of the foreign clan practices Astral Projection; an espers astral body is 
normally only visible if the esper wants it to be, but other espers can always 
see the astral body clearly.  Storytelling:  The foreign esper has taken some of 
his experiences and published them as science fiction.  However Kyosuke sees the 
translation and realises that the descriptions of how it feels use the power are 
100% accurate.  Suspician leads to conformation.

4 An extension of idea 3, though this is more linked to KOC.  A member of the 
foreign esper clan is visiting, and leaves his breifcase in the wrong place.  
The clan has been working on finding ways to awaken latend psionic abilities in 
ordinary people so that they can stop hiding their abilities.  The notes on a 
promising drug are in the breifcase.  While trying to discover who the case 
should be given to Katsu lookes the notes over, and the concepts are so 
facinating he starts up a little experiment based on some of them.  The 
breifcase's owner shows up, but gets caught up in talking to Katsu and 
supporting the experiment.  Anyways there's an explosion, and a cloud of vapor, 
and ordinary folk who breathed it in temperarily develope Psionic abilities.

5 A swirling void envelops the Tendo Dojo and transports it to El-Hazard.  
El-Hazard is recovering from the war with the Bugrom, how will they deal with 
Ranma & Co., especially when everyone's dimensional abilities start manifesting. 
 Speaking of which, would Makoto be able to use his ability to use The Power Key 
Staff to duplicate Ifurita's abilities?  That could be very, interesting.
