I'd like to point out a scientific mistake I've seen many, many

DNA is a set of instructions for how the body develops. If it's
already
developed, changing it won't result in more than a person with the
wrong sex
chromosomes and maybe some hormone problems. Someone whose genes
were changed
to the opposite sex won't become the opposite sex, for the same
reason that
if you lose a leg you won't grow another one even though your DNA
codes for
having two legs.
Who cares? When you mix Washuu with a magical Jusenkyou curse,
real-world science is hardly relevant.
Besides, this fic was hilarious! The purpose of this fic was to
make us
laugh, not create viable science in a world where the normal laws of
the
universe don't apply anyway. And in that, I think the fic succeeded
admirably. It's been a while since I read a fic that made me laugh
out loud.
Chris, you are a sick, sick man. ^_^ Great job. -> I agree with this
one :-)

The virus is run through a Junseko-body (Ranma), which will of course
affect
the virus. Since Jusenko doesn't preserve mass, and it is possible for
DNA to
rebuild lost limbs (i.e.: Lizards) the change could be instantaneous with
the mass
gain/loss given by Jusenko. So it's scientifically possible if Jusenko
works.
As for the severe change in the DNA to accomodate this change; Mihosih
messed
with it and she's a probabillety flux, and it was in Ranma, again someone
for whom
probabilety changes it's laws.

If violence doesn't solve your problems you're not using enough of it.
There is no such thing as too much overkill.
Of all the things I have lost -- I miss my mind and sanity the least.
