My personal favorite is Spring of Drowned Dolphin . . . although (as with
so many Jusenkyo springs) you have to wonder how the dolphin got there in
the first place.

Actually, flip thin on its head and it could make a really interesting
story. Say a dolphin gets accidentally dumped into the Naniichuan or
Nyannichuan (I don't know... an aquarium was transporting it inland or
something). How would it deal with suddenly being human? Or how about
the fact that there is no cure, since there isn't a spring of drowned
dolphin, so he/she can never return to the ocean and their pod?

Might actually be an interesting story. Certainly would be a unique
point of view.

I hereby claim this idea with intention to write a fanfic on it! :)

There you go, White Wolf, an idea is drawn from the spam.
	Actually, I can see a 'series' of Jusenkyo-based fics, not about
Ranma-tachi but about everyone else who runs across Jusenkyo and gets
dunked or goes for a swim. The dolphin one(s), though, I am laying claim
to now. ^_^
