Ranma will always have a special place for me. I remember being in Hastings and reading the notes on the cover for the first time.
"Wait . . . are there two people named Ranma, and one is a girl?"
"Cold water? Hot water? What? What?"
"'Martial arts sex comedy?' What does that even mean?"
Naturally, I had to rent it.

Admittedly, the Yamato Nadeshiko type is really the marrying kind. They can also be kind of controlling, but in a really, really subtle way. On the other hand, you will eat really well.

We have expectations for dogs to fulfill. A dog should fetch, or sit, or otherwise obey. When they do, they are 'good'. When they do not, they are 'bad'.
We have no expectations for cats, at least not directly. I might expect my cats to keep mice out of the house, but I don't 'sic' my cats on a mouse. They just get them when they see them (and are in the mood). So, there's no condition under which a cat would be 'good'.

The scene where the dancer falls over and becomes a tuna is kind of interesting. There is a Japanese expression: "Like a carp on a chopping block" (or something like that), which basically means that you are totally helpless. In a comic book, one character mimes this expression by doing what the dancer did: putting their hands up and then falling over onto their side.

At least one dog knows that he can get a good spot by the fire, if he takes it while the cats are away

"All products are made by hand, with the soul, in order to please you, your children and pets."
Whose soul is sacrificed in order to make these? That sounds really, really creepy

The potato story lacks the legend of Fredrick the Great of Prussia who, in the 1770s, tried to encourage his people to grow potatoes. The people viewed them with suspicion, and so:
"Frederick used a bit of reverse psychology: he planted a royal field of potato plants and stationed a heavy guard to protect this field from thieves. Nearby peasants naturally assumed that anything worth guarding was worth stealing, and so snuck into the field and snatched the plants for their home gardens."

Chicago was also lifted up. Entire buildings were raised using jackscrews being turned by an army of workers.

"A popular story of the time [1850s] had it that a passerby came upon a man whose head and shoulders protruded from the muck in the middle of the street. "Can I help?" asked the passerby. "No, thank you," replied the man. "I have a fine horse under me.""
