"Oni"?

I've never heard this one before. It doesn't strike my as being very "punny", since "O-Nine" is pronounced "O-NAIN" in Japanese. --Reichu 06:05, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

Quantum Mechanics

The Rei stuff needs to be displaced to an embryonic T&A article sometime. Certainly, nothing more than a couple of sentences belongs on this particular page. --Reichu 06:05, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

Yes. I will separate that. --V 14:32, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

Sachiel

V wrote: "Sachiel's respiration system is somewhat unusual..." This sort of thing only needs to be on Sachiel's page, methinks. --Reichu 06:05, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

Ok. We're still in the early "desperately need actual information on here" phase so I'm more concerned with getting stuff up, than if it gets a little doubled up. Yeah I realize I just double pasted it I'll work on that if you think it looks garrish...--V 14:33, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

Yom Kippur

"This episode premiered on October 4th, 1995, which also happened to be Yom Kippur that year. It's not clear if, given the various references to Jewish mysticism in the series, this was an intentional choice or just coincidence." The inclusion of this struck me as a bit odd. What prompted it? --Reichu 06:05, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

I didn't think of it. Some guy added it into the wikipedia.org article for "Angel Attack", and I figured it was enough of a notable coincidence (purely as trivia) that I might as well keep it around. Would you like it removed? (I'm no fan of that bit myself actually, as I thought it a pure coincidence and not particularly interesting). --V 14:35, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
