    # 31 - Characters with the biggest appetites can eat more food than most big animals can...and still maintain a good figure.

    In an anime of 5 girls, there always seems to be characistics of the following-

    1) Ditzy, one, usually the main character
    2) Good Fighter
    3) Good Cook
    4) The smart one
    5) The sporty one, or the neautral one (usually containg all the skills above, or lacking of some)

    Most anime characters are usually shorter or taller than they really are (Ex: Sailormoon - long legs!)

    #36 Bishounen usually look like girls.

    #37 And yet the perfectly straight girls in the series tend to dig them anyway. Go figure.

    40 - Mecha and people can dodge an absurd amount of missles and projectiles headed their way. Case in point, Macross and Ranma. However, dodging a mallet or a slap to the back of the head is a different story all together.

    #42 -

    Usually heros at the end, trying to save someone or something, to conclude the series, has some drastic or something really big happen to them. (Usually power ups, a special weapon appears to them, etc.)

    WHEE! I can have fun with this!! *everyone sweatdrops*

    #43 Law of Metaphysical Irregularity
    - The normal laws of physics do not apply.

    #44 Law of Sonic Amplification, First Law of Anime Accoustics
    - In space, loud sounds, like explosions, are even louder because there is no air to get in the way.

    #45 First Law of Temporal Mortality
    - 'Good Guys' and 'Bad Guys' both die in one of two ways. Either so quick they don't even see it coming, OR it's a long drawn out affair where the character gains much insight to the workings of society, human existence or why the toast always lands butter side down.

    #46 Second Law of Temporal Mortality
    - It takes some time for bad guys to die... regardless of physical damage. Even when the 'Bad Guys' are killed so quickly they didn't even see it coming, it takes them a while to realize they are dead. This is attributed to the belief that being evil damages the Reality Lobe of the brain.

    #47 First Corollary to the Law of Inherent Combustibility
    - Anything that explodes bulges first.

    #48 Second Corollary to the Law of Inherent Combustibility
    - Large cities are the most explosive substances known to human science. Tokyo in particular seems to be the most unstable of these cities, sometimes referred to as "The Matchstick City".

    #49 Law of Phlogistatic Emission
    - Nearly all things emit light from fatal wounds.

    #50 Law of Inexhaustability
    - No one *EVER* runs out of ammunition. That is of course unless they are cornered, out-numbered, out-classed, and unconscious.

    #51 Law of Antagonistic Americanthropomorphism
    - The really nasty 'Bad Guys' are always skinny Americans.

    #52 Law of Americanthropomorphistic Intellectual Inferiority
    - The stupid 'Good Guys' are always big Americans.
    First Corollary
    - The only people who are more stupid than the big dumb Americans are the American translators. (Sometimes referred to as the Green Line Effect)
    Second Corollary
    - The only people who are more stupid than the American translators are the American editors and censors.

    #53 Law of Mandibular Proportionality (My personal favorite!)
    - The size of a person's mouth is directly proportional to the volume at which they are speaking.

    InuYasha - I'll come up with some more later...

    daaaaaang, them's a lot of rules!

    54 - All and any anime must have at least a scene shot with Tokyo Tower.

    55 - All anrdoids must carry blood and die horribly inhumane deaths with either smiles on their faces or shown with intolerable and disgusting pain.

    56 - As proven by Shin Seiki Evangelion, no matter how many times you destroy it...there will *always* be a Tokyo.

    # 57 - Special Techniques, no matter how devastating, have absolutely no effect unless you say their name out loud while performing them...:)

    It's too true to life....

    Only one today...

    #58 Law of the Magic Reset Button
    - Whenever the only way for the 'Good Guy' to beat the 'Bad Guy' is for the 'Good Guy' make the ultimate sacrifice,the Law of Metaphysical Irregularity dictates that said 'Good Guy' be revived without a single scratch on his/her body,so that he/she can go lay claim to his/her 'One True Love.'

    Extension of Rule 59

    Roof-hopping is usual and does not surprise people as much as seeing them just *standing* atop a building. Also, while being chased during a roof-hopping scene, the roof will be unusually long and will almost always be triangular in shape.

    People don't roof-hop on Tenchi's house because it's only got one side, not dual. Well, being in the middle of nowhere helps too!

    Rule # 60 - fine print: This rule does not apply whenever an attempt is made to destroy a tree. In fact, slicing thru a large oak with a sword in one slice, or falling the tallest maple with a single punch is a very easy task and performed regularly.

    Then Ninja Weapon Inventory!

    All Ninja's/samuri who carry just swords Usualy never die when they are one of the main characters.. But if they use Ninja stars, they will use an ungodly amount of stars before theire horrid death.
