Hello!  I know I haven't posted in a really long time,
but I've been happily lurking and enjoying all the new
voices around the ML.  One thing came up just now that
I've been wondering about for awhile, and I was
wondering if anyone could shed some light on it for
me.

One thing I didn't get... when the two halves were
separated by the incense, was the curse lifted from
Ranma?  He didn't get splashed anytime during that
episode, so we can't be sure whether or not he would
have changed had the splashiness occurred. 

At the end, onna-Ranma just dissolved!  There was no
clear re-entry into Ranma, so if she went "pfft", when
were the two selves rejoined?  In my mind, I would
think the curse would have been lifted then.  

That's always been a sticking point in the series for
me.  *pauses and considers*  Of course... maybe I'm
being overly nit-picky.  Or maybe this is simply a
Takahashi mystery (equatable to, "Hey!  Where'd Akane
get that mallet?").  Any ideas?
