  The universe is a big ass place.
  Now, some would say that that really does no justice to
the enormity of the universe, but is it really necessary to
go into a long rant of how the cosmos reach out into infinity?
 
Yes.
 
Is
it pertenent that you hear of how the ever extending galaxies
form a chain in the celestial bodies that has no end?
 
Of course.
 
Oh, wait... these are retorical questions, aren't they?  Never mind!  ^_^
 
body which luminated greatly and was covered mostly by her school green uniform and
 
Don't you want to say green school uniform?  Or is "school green" a particularly nasty color that you want to use in this instance?  ^_^
 
 
 "Genmacticus, Nabula."
 
You realize you're spelling... well, of course you do, but it still hurts my eyes.  ^_^
 
 
money?" The Stranger was not at all surprised by Nabula's knowing of Genmacticus. She possessed a keen mind he had rarely seen in mortals, but
she unlike her younger sister possessed very little in the way of cosmic energy so he only paid her heed when she showed her truly brilliant nature.
 
but she, unlike her younger sister, possessed   (you want to put the commas in.  Well, to be honest _I_ want you to put the commas in, but I have the weight of thousands of teachers of grammer to back up my demands.  ^_^  )
 
 
 "I'm Ranma Saotome and the big panda outside is my old man, Genmacticus."
 The Stranger turned around and saw the silver plated being standing on a surf
board hovering in the center of the room on it.
 
"standing on a surf board, hovering in the center of the room on it."  (comma necessary, although I'd prefer you rewrite the whole sentence, it's awkward.)  (Yes, awkward is my favorite word today!)
 
 The Strranger stood up and saw the through the open window what looked like a giant panda
 
This whole thing just gets strrranger and strrrrrranger....  ^_^
 
outside. He studied its aura and sure enough it was Genmacticus.
 
and, sure enough, it was...   (Really, commas can be your friends!)
 
 
 The panda pulled out a ten foot tall sign that read <I took my son to Jusenkyo
where we cursed to turn into a panda and a girl.>
 
we _were_ cursed
 
Unless what you really mean is they stood around and swore blue streaks until they transformed into a panda and a girl?  ^_^
 
 The Stranger blinked and said,"Son...? Than that would mean-"
 He was cut off by a large scream coming from the house. The Stranger turned around in time to see a sliver coated body thrown in his direction from a large hole coming from the bathroom wall.
 
The large hole was coming from the bathroom wall?  Where did the large hole end up, then?
 
Holding out his hand the body stopped in mid-air a foot from his person.
 
The body held out his hand, and stopped a foot from himself?  (Note that the body is the subject of the sentence at the moment, and appears to be performing all of the action.)
 
 
 
Akanova flew  through the wall towards the silver coated person.
 The Stranger said,"What is going on here?"
 Akanova stopped in mid-flight and pointed at the silver coated person,"He was in the bathroom! The letch was looking at me while I was naked!"
 "Which you still are," The Stranger stated matter of factly.
 
matter-of-factly
 
 
 
 By that time Nabula and Goddess had both come out to the lawn. Nabula shouted,"He's right. Eunich's don't really need to wear pants."
 
eunuch
 
 Ranma nodded at that, but caught what Nabula said and shouted,"I am not
a eunich!"
 
eunuch
 
 "Oh, yeah! Where are your genitals?!" Nabula shouted right back.
  Ranma reached for his crotch and said,"Here, I'll show them to you!"
 
This reminds me of a conversation I had with a comic shop owner once, about why male superheros are always drawn in such a way that they don't appear to have genitals.  He theorized that there was one superhero somewhere that had ALL of the genitals of the other superheros.
 
Yeah, he was a weird guy.  Back when they were doing all of those Superman crossover team-ups (Superman vs. Alien, Predator, I forget who else) he suggested that the series would culminate in a "Superman vs. Jesus" story.  Like I said, weird.
 
 
 Ranma looked non-chalant as he said,"Nothing. Just that you're uglier than any skrull I've ever met."
 
nonchalant.  It's from French, so no English word "chalant" exists to form a negative of.
 
Until I find better things to write about. Ja ne.
 
 
When you find something better to write about, let us know, because it ought to be sheer genius!  As it is, this is a lot of fun to read, and I'm looking forward to chapter 2!
