	Or perhaps a Jeanie/Oh, My Goddess fusion, my friend. Remember that Jinn
are spirits, and not necessarily good or evil. In Arabian legend there have
been evil jinn and good jinn, as well as jinn that simply don't GIVE a
damn, and just want to (like Greta Garbo) be left alone. In fact, King
Solomon of Israel was famous in song, story and legend among the Arab
peoples for having spent much time trapping, then sealing evil jinn in
bottles; then closing those bottles with his seal, the Star of David.

	Come to think of it, there's a great deal of potential in this idea. Would
the goddesses consider it part of their duty to 'clean up' any 'loose' jinn
that might wander within their range? What of the danger to Belldandy's
intended, Keiichi? What if a jinn wound up in the hands of that idiot in
the rival Auto Club who thinks that as a rich heir, Belldandy rightfully
belongs to him? According to SOME legends, if a jinn cannot fulfill your
wish, they're obliged to transfer their power over to you, causing you to
become a jinn, and releasing them from the slavery King Solomon imposed on
them... of course, you wind up with the bondage into servitude, as well as
the power.

	Hmm.. just a thought or two.
