     Seriously, this has been happening to me lately, with some of my 
 sentences being unexplictably cut-off in the middle and fused with ones 
later 
 on. I don't know why it keeps happening, but it could have been an accident 
 on my part (I could've sworn it was intact before I posted it). 
     It's supposed to be read as "How would the baby fare? Would he be born 
 with a MPD (multiple personality disorder). One personality would be Ranma 
 himself, and other the baby's. This could make things interesting..." >>

    Yeah, he'll have MPD.  Wouldn't be as fun elsewise.

     I never said that you couldn't. I was only merely saying that I've 
 decided to give it a try. That thread I started a while ago, I even 
mentioned 
 that if anyone would like to use that idea, they're welcome to it.
     If I had sounded differently, then my apologies.  ^_^; >>

    Accepted.

     Usagi Yojimbo, the rabbit ronin? I've read some of it, but I don't think 
 I've come across the Grasscutter story arc. Would've been a moot point, 
since 
 they're collected editions.
     But thanks for the fact about the sword. Now I know I can't use it... >>

    Well, you might want to check a comic book shop -- one that's been open 
for a good while -- and check the back issues, or find a friend who has them. 
 (I'd offer, but I'm presently unable to find the relevant issues.)

 Sorry. Overlooked that error. Doesn't happen often, though. >>
    Yeah.  And when it happens, it chooses the worst place possible to 
happen...
