not bad but I wonder has anyone done a Ranma-chan gets

that would cure his curse, apparently but after a couple of

cold water or doesn't age at all.

Excuse me, but is there a evidence in the manga to suggest that the
curse also specifically effects age?

Yes. Lukkosai.

True, but there is no evidence that Lukkosai's cursed state (as a boy)
won't age as the years pass.

	Hmm, actually it occured to me that Tarou could be worked as an 
argument for multiple interpretations.  When he was cursed as a baby 
his monstor form was also a baby.  Thus the Jusenkyo cursed definately 
still age in both forms.  If you assume that they age seperately with 
whatever form they stayed in aging, then it would explain the timing of 
Happosei's visit to china, Tarou is actually twice his apparent age, 
and Happosei cursed him before he started teaching Genma and Soun.
