For the nurse uniform, did you find out about the original dialogue,
or just what's said in the dub ("magic fingers")? The sub is much
more explicit.

Also, what FAQ did you find? TMiD (Tenchi Muyo in Depth)? I can't
think of many others that would mention Naja. Does that finally
have a home on the web outside of the ML archives?

It does both of those; it's also a good source of OT stuff.
