	Ryouko M. and Sheila are their universe's incarnations of a
certain other blue-haired battlesuit pilot and red-haired girl with
superhuman strength.  I can't believe nobody's picked up on this yet.

	*piku* Oh.  
	May I ask which one was supposed to be the alien princess we
would want to shoot? ^_-

I suspect that 'Poo
was telling the truth at least about her past (Davies, her revised
backstory was more than a little harsh), but was she truly lying about the
results of the fight?  If so, why would she fool not only Ranma but her
poker buddies as well?

	I'm not sure what you mean.  Could you elaborate?

	After aging 50-odd years during her exorsism, she told Ranma that
she had lost her link with the Tao and was going to die shortly... then
reverted to her youth the second Rei and Ranma left.
	You lost me (and possibly half the list) there.

	Yes, her backstory was intended to be EXTREMELY tragic.  Too often
the only thing that authors have done with Shampoo's history was to reveal
that Mousse had actually beaten her in combat.  I wanted to give her a
very good reason to be upset about her "husband" being a girl ... and to
eventually decide to give up on him when she learned that he wasn't going
to accept a cure if it came his way.

	*shudder* Trust me, it worked.
	(The severe social isolation I assume she suffers from is bad
enough, but this...)

	Hmm... Tenchi's life is going to be a _bit_ more intresting in the
wake of this (one is forced to wonder however, if Kei is unknowingly
contemplating incest ^_^).

	Nonononononononononononononono.  No.

	*short* SpoilSport.

It is also amusing to note that there are those whom the Dirty
Pair fear almost as much as the general populace fears them.

	Well, it's hard to kill a legend ...

	Hehehehe.

	Mr Deacon's Fate: I assume the Rabbit of the Moon has picked up a
few tricks from She Who Died on the Moon? ^_- 

	Who?

	Uncanny X-Men #128-137 by Claremont & Byrne
	Find it.  Read it.  Revel in a time when decent were produced in
North America... and sold well.
