**Schrodinger’s cat vs. Nostradamus and a guy who can figure out what the hell he’s saying.**

In a unique experiment, Mr. Trigo, the leading expert on Nostramus’ predictions, spent 3 weeks deciphering a prediction in which it is believed Nostradamus reveals the fate of Schrodinger’s cat. Unfortunately, the experiment was invalidated when it was discovered that the cat died of starvation.

Bwuh-huh? Hobbes not a fighter? He regularly took out Calvin just for fun. Plus he ate one of bullys who used to pick on Calvin at school. Don’t let his cool outward appearance fool you. He’s all tiger. Grrrrrrrow.

Jr. or Sr.?

Either way, Bush just needs a hot enough heat source and captain planet will melt.

If it’s Ladies at 20 paces then it’ll be Spike hands down.

Actually no. No one would be able to resist going dirty with it. Interesting though.

Mai. Its’ Mai Valentine. Its’ cool.

Are we talking bare hands or can they use their monsters (sorta like the Legendary Heroes episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh). If its’ the latter then Harpies’ pet dragon crushes Arbok and Wobbuffet. If the former that might be slightly fairer, but I still gotta go with Mai.

Actually I was talking about Faye Valentine. The one from Cowboy Bebop. Just sort of a hand-to-hand type thing, no pokemon or giant mallets allowed. I’m not familiar with Mai at all.

But this Mai thing is starting to sound way more interesting.

[hijack]What is it with the name Valentine in anime/games? So far I’ve heard of Faye (CB), Mai (?), Vincent (FF – something, right?), Luke and Jan (Hellsing) and I think there’s someone else I’m forgetting [/hijack]
