As Christopher Angel pointed out my word wrap was off, so I hopefully have
corrected that.
This for me was a spamfic and an experiment several complained about the
capitalization.
The capitalization is an experiment in a sight gag with washu sleepy form
moving between ryoko and ayeka's two word argument.
I won't mind the C&C but if the washu text isn't between the aligned
"CAN TOO!" and "CAN NOT!" then ignore all between the bar of equal signs.
I've already posted it but for ease of finding here is a decent source
about the mpemba effect.

MPEMBA EFFECT
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/hot_water.html
I was bouncing around the web reading thermodynamic journals and
science magazines articles along with FAQ files when I came across
the Mpemba effect.
This give me an idea for a tenchi crossover that I think I can say
has probably never been done before and hopefully will never be done
again.

===================================================================
CAN NOT! Washu yawned as she made her way from the lab CAN TOO!
it was 4:30am, and she had just spent the last

vibration modes of a 13 dimensional super

CAN NOT! Washu paused and CAN NOT! let Ryoko's energy CAN TOO!
sword pass harmlessly in front of her
CAN NOT! continuing between the two yelling ladies she CAN TOO!
opened the refrigerator door and pulled a

and taking a drink washu yawned and turned to
CAN NOT! go to bed taking a step forward she brushed CAN TOO!
against the back side of Ayeka's force field
CAN NOT! just as ryoko's energy sword slammed into the CAN TOO!
CAN NOT! front . CAN TOO!

CAN NOT! Washu Rubbed her numbed arm where the energy CAN OOPS
===================================================================
had arced off the surface of ayeka's forcefield and glared at the
two sheepish women standing before her. Washu now fully awake for
the first time since leaving her lab glared at the two and said
"WHY MUST YOU FIGHT OVER TENCHI ALL THE TIME!".
After a few seconds of silence ayeka said in a low voice "We
weren't fighting over tenchi, we were arguing about a question
tenchi asked us.
Washu blinked several time and finally turned to ryoko with a
questioning look, ryoko rolled her eyes and said "Tenchi asked us
if hot water could ever freeze faster than cold water under
identical conditions? and this chowder head said that it could".
Ayeka shouted back"YOU IDIOT I know it can, when sassumi, me and
mom use to have our brandoo berry slushy making races mom always
won until she told us the secret. It was to always heat the berry
juices before you freeze it for the slushies."
Washu stared at the two girls and blinked owlishly finally
shrugging her shoulders she called up her computer terminal and
started typing giving her patented laugh she said"I'll settle this
once and for all my computers thermodynamic models have been tested
under an extreme range of conditions from temperatures and
pressures where metallic hydrogen exist to the core of a star and
they have held up for the last twenty thousand years." Ryoko and
ayeka glanced at each other and on a silent cue they both covered
their ears as washu did her dance and sang her song.
Finally 30 seconds later as her computer screen flashed washu
stopped her dance and said"See my models say that given identical
conditions the cooler water will freeze first."
Ryoko stuck her tong out at ayeka and started to say"I TOLD YOU SO"
when she was interrupted by a very sheepish voice saying"Washu I
think your model is wrong we studied the Mpemba effect last week in
physics and all our experiments showed that hot water can freeze
faster than cool."
Washu laughed and said your mistaken tenchi my models can't be
wrong. Tenchi hung his head and said"Oh I wonder why all our
experiment kept coming up with the wrong results?"
Washu blinked as what tenchi said soaked in and just before the
boy left the room she sighed and said"Tenchi I can't ever remember
running an actual test to see if what you are saying is true, I'll
try one and see what you were doing wrong and tell you tomorrow."
FOUR WEEKS LATER
Tenchi carefully made his way into washu's lab she hadn't been
seen in nearly a month ever since that fateful mpemba discussion.
Tenchi nose wrinkled as he smelled a terrible smell, reluctantly he
followed his nose to a table where a dual stream of liquid filled
tubes one set of which was heated were passing into a mist
enshrouded chamber. Tenchi stared in awe at washu's industrial
version of the test that they had done over a month ago, while they
were studying thermo dynamics and the mpemba effect in physics.
A moan caused tenchi's eyes to track down and in a darken corner
of the room sitting sprawled in a chair was a filthy washu her hair
was limp and her cloths were covered in what appear to be
multicolored stains of various fruit juices, only a few of which he
recognised. Carefully Tenchi approached washu's moaning form and
lightly poked her, washu let out a startled yell and looked with
unfocussed eyes at tenchi after several seconds she laughed and
said "Oh its you tenchi I was having a nightmare about being stuck
in a universe where hot water could freeze before cold water."
Tenchi smiled and said"you mean the mpemba effect?"
Tenchi stepped back bumping into the experiment table and watched
in confusion as washu surged to her feet and stared with wild eyes
at him and the experiment clinking away behind him.
Tenchi was getting ready to run when washu's eyes rolled up into
her head and tenchi had to scramble to keep her from hitting the
floor.

"Mpemba effect"
I found this in a Physics/thermodynamics FAQ it told how in 1963 a
high school student named mpemba who "rediscovered", while making
icecream in a lab that hot liquids could freeze faster, when he
mentioned this to his science teacher and asked how this was
possible the teacher told him he was mistaken and started to make
fun of him when he said it happened every time he tried it. The
teacher told him he was living in his own mpemba universe and not
the real one, for the rest of that year every mistake he made was
called a mpemba and laughed at by the teacher and students.
Mpemba later asked a visiting physics professor why hot water could
freeze faster than cold, the professor said it wasn't possible, but
he would try it and see.
Dr. Osborne had a lab assistant run a experiment to test mpemba's
assertions, and later Dr. Osborne become interested when his lab
assistant reported that the hot water kept freezing first, but he
would keep repeating the experiment until he got the "RIGHT"
results.
In 1969 Mpemba and Dr. Osborne published a paper detailing their
research into hot water freezing quicker than cold water, and it is
interesting to note that even today no scientist or research group
has completely successfully explained how or why hot water can
freeze faster than cold.
