Ok, these answers all depend on what the author wants reality to be. Heres
my take on it.

If a Jusenkyo person gets pregnant, he or she is locked in female form for
the duration. All those female hormones interfere with the magic you know
(^-^) Pregnancy tests were never simpler! Of course, it would be a while (a
week or two) before the hormones build up, and in that time, hot water would
cause a spontaneous abortion.

The resulting child of cross-species pregnancies will have a Jusenkyo curse
if the mother was cursed. The body fluids (not those ones, hentai!) of the
mother contain enough of the magic to pass it on. The child however, will
have teh physical and mental attributes of whatever form he or she happens
to be in. If Shampoo-neko found a nice tomcat, her children would *really*
want to avoid cold water (^-^)

If the mother is not cursed, the resulting child will be a normal creature
of whatever species with no special talents. Mumu-chans kids would be
ordinary ducks.

Ranma-chans kids would be Jusenkyo-cursed, but would have normal human
intelligence in both forms, as both forms are still human. Skuld alone knows
what Tarou's kids would be. I'm not too sure if there are any female
monsters around.

It takes any liquid which is mostly water to have the curse triggered.
Boiling oil will simply make teh target wet (and hurt a lot). As for
quantity, enough to make the target 'feel wet'. This depends on where the
victim is hit. Less water would be required if you aim at the head than at
the legs. Face and hands probably require the least of all. Lookup where
nerve ndings are most plentiful for a detailed diagram. Yep, *there* would
also require very little to have the effect.

Well, after reading Lara Bartram and Mike Loader's fic Bliss, I got to
thinking about Jusenkyo curses, and I have a couple of questions to
throw out there:

1)  If Ranma did get pregnant while female, what would happen
   if he turned back into a male while pregnant?

2)  If Shampoo were to be impregnated while in cat form,
   would she have a kitten or a normal child?  Would the
   child have the Jusenkyo curse?  Can she even get pregnant
   in her cursed form?  What would be the logistics of this??

3)  If Mousse (in duck form :P) were to get his groove on with
   a female of the duck species, would he produce some superintelligent
   duck or just a normal duck?  Would the duckling have the curse?
   (Same question as above, almost)

4)  Lastly, is the curse transmittable through genetics?  This
   may have been answered already.

5)  There was a discussion of what triggers the curse earlier.   We see
   in the manga/anime that ramen noodles and other fluids will
   trigger the curse.  Does it necessarily have to be pure water,
   or just contain water as a solvent? :)


I don't know if this is appropriate ffml discussion or not, so if
it isn't, please respond privately to spare Tybalt-sama's wrath. :)

Blame these questions on Mountain Dew (the comp sci major's best friend)
