LET'S HAVE A SCAVENGER HUNT!!!!!
If anyone is this bored, they might consider C&Cing some fics... (gary

Anyone else?
OK, if you instist, but this is a different kind of Scavenger Hunt.
The following are verbatim lines from ten different fics. The puzzle
is to identify the fics. They are a mixture of script and prose, and
range from the well-known to the obscure. All are in the
rec.arts.anime.creative archive at ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca , and no two
share the same author. Once you've identified some, you may notice
other things about the particular choice or arrangement of fics that
will help you get the rest.
I've tried to pick unique lines, but I can't guarantee that a line
might be in more than one fic.
1) Do you know the air velocity of an unladen swallow?
2) And P-Chan ran away from Azusa's house today, right?
3) Don't worry. He's probably around somewhere. He'll be okay.
Let's just hope the bears don't eat him.
4) Y'know, I bet that eternal life stuff ain't all it's cracked up to
be.
5) Ah, my boy, practicing up on your arts?
6) Right now, Ranma, time is the one thing we have in abundance.
7) Martial Arts NET-SURFING?!?!?!?!?!!?
8) Ladies only, gotcha? You wouldn't be interested in the show.
9) You've returned to me, like General Patton only much prettier! My
heart swells with joy!
10) Remember: never Never *NEVER* use the bus when the mall has just
closed!
Anyone think they can identify them all? Please send your answers to
me by private E-mail; I'll identify the first to get all ten on the
ML.
