This is in response to Jason Liao's questions.

If Genma is Ranma's mother, then
who's Nadoka?  

Nodoka used to by Tatewaki Kuno (The first), The brother of Kuno Kuchuo
and the uncle of Tatewaki and Kodachi.

Why does Soun wail the passing of his wife if he -is- the
wife?  

Soun finished the story and began sobbing, "Oh my babies, I had to lie
to
you all these years.  Who would have believed that I was actually your
mother and Happosai, your father."

Why do the two bakas care if the dojo is passed on if it was given
by Happosai?  

Soun as Yuriko cared for Happosai and still cares for his children.  He
wants to ensure that one of them will be taken care of.  Since Genma was
placed in the same situation, they made the marriage pledge.

If the curses are permanent, then how did Genma get another
curse?  (by it's own definition, Genma should now be curse proof)

If a curse is permanent, that is that it is unaffected by hot or cold
water, chy couldn't the person be affected by more cursed spring water.
Also I said that the ladle was like the Chisuiton, not it.  Therefor, I
made the object permanently change the recipients of the curse.

Answering	Venkarel
	(who was more confused by Ranma's proposal of the menage a trois
+
	Ukyou--who is whose wife and who should use the Nannichuan?)
	
Ok Here goes.  	Ryouga marries Ranma-chan,
		Ranma-Kun marries Akane-chan  
		Akane Splashes herself with Nannichuan water
		Akane-Kun could then marry Ukyou-chan
	They could then have very interesting sex-lives.
