Becky-chan and I had a pet project for a while where 
we tried to figure out which was each character's 
dominant hand. We mostly looked at the manga 
(remembering that each page was mirror-image 
reversed in the English translation), checking out 
which hand they ate with, threw with, slapped with, 
etc. Most of them are righties, but I think we found 
a few southpaws. (The only one I remember for sure 
is anime-only--Kirin, who holds his bowl of rice in 
his right hand and uses the chopsticks with his 
left.) Shampoo may very well be ambidextrous, as she 
didn't seem to favor either hand particularly for 
any activity. Someday we'll have to go over it all 
again, and this time keep the written record of our 
findings.
Yeah, when our Web page gets all the way up, we're
gonna have all sorts of weird studies on the charac-
ters--dominant hand, Sun-sign (as figured out by
yours truly), and anything else it occurs to us to
research.

>But Ranma 1/2 martial arts isn't real.

Well, we can PRETEND, can't we?! C'mon, where's your 
sense of voluntary delusion?


Cianne:


>Darhma Chameleon (spelled horribly, I know!)

That was Tsubasa, not Konatsu. Similar principle 
(cross-dressing guy with a connection to Ukyo), 
*totally* different character.

>Did someone hit him in the head?

Where have you been the entire series?

>Shadow:
><I don't know enough about Inu-Yasha to know if 
>Kagome has a jealousy streak.>

>As far as I've read, it hasn't really come up.
>**********

Not that I've seen much of it, but I didn't gather 
that romance came into that series much. Isn't it 
mostly battling demons, with a few comic streaks on 
occasion?


Shadow:

>That's not poetry. That is some hollywood hack 
>trying to sound poetic.

Depends on your definition of poetry. If you define
it as the content of an actual poem, preferably one
that has been published, you're right. But "poetry"
can also mean flowery language that is characterist-
ic of classic poems, and in that case there is
plenty of movie dialogue that applies, including Mr.
Sheen's quote.
