About this who's the father thing.  Were talking about Urd who happens to be
a Goddess.  Who knows maby she didn't even need to have a father for her
child.  Could have decided to one day say "i shall be pregnate" and that was
that.

  Kami-sama seems to keep a pretty tight rein on the lesser deities.  I
don't know that Urd even has that type of capability.  Anyway, how would it
look for the Cupid of Love to practice parthenogenesis?  
 

What do you mean "that Ranma is now more than just a god" if Ranma's wish was
granted exactly how he said it then he would be in fact the son/daughter of
Urd and i guess would have inherited her powers. Greater or lesser is anyones
guess and up to the author to decide.

  How does heredity work among gods in the AMS universe?  I'm sure Keiichi
and Belldandy will want to know the answer to this question, although I
don't see either of them actually raising the question, at least not
without considerable blushing.  

  Normally (if such a word is even meaningful here), a child of a god
(other than the head deity) will be a god of something relating to his
parentage.  What would Ranma be the god of?  Assuming Ranma keeps his curse
and given that Urd is not only a Norn, but is Cupid of Love, I shudder at
the possibilities.

  If other things are kept the same, I wonder how Kuno will react to the
fact that Ranma now outranks him socially.  Gods normally take precedence
over nobility.  I wonder how closely related Ranma-sama (Kodachi now won't
be exaggerating) is to Amaterasu?  What special deals will Nabiki cook up?
In fact, maybe Nabkins will now go after Ranma.  Why marry a rich man when
she can marry a god, especially a god who she can manipulate and whose aunt
is Goddess of the Future.
