As we know from one of the later Ranma Manga stories (the last one featuring Pantyhose Taro), an inanimate object can drown in Jusenko, and curse a pool.
....
Jusenko. Home of cursed pools. Each pool has it's own tragic story.
One day, the Jusenko guide was taking care of daily mantaince on the pools- dregding out leaves, carcases, and keeping the signs hidded via carefully styled grass. And as he did this, he tried to keep one eye on his daughter, Plum.
Plum was a small girl, barely five years old. Her father took her to play with the Amazon girls as often as he could, but not often- and he felt guilty about this.
As a result of this guilt, he had gotten into the habit of ordering her toys- lots of toys. If it was from a show she liked (or he liked)- or just caught her eye, he'd buy it for her. Plum's toybox was one of the best stocked toyboxes in the northen hemisphere.
On this particular day, Plum was playing happily with her toys, near the springs. For some reason, neither the guide nor his family ever fell into a curssed pool.
"Plum! Lunch time!" the guide called out.
Plum stood quickly, and in her haste knocked her toybox over. By one of those strange, imposible-to-explain-by-the-laws-of-physics incidents that Jusenko seemed to cause, the toybox rolled along the ground, into a pool.
Plum burst into tears. The guide could only wince. How tragic.
Some years later:
Ranma jumped from a bamboo pole, and tackeled his father, knocking them both into one of the pools.
"Oh no! Honoured customers have fallen into Pool of Drowned Plums Toybox!" The guide shouted. "Now, whoever fall into spring, take form of one of Plum's toys!"

Challenge: Ranma and Genma both cursed to become a cartoon/anime/video game/television/manga character. (Ryoga, Shampoo and Mousse are optional)
Whatever Ranma turns into must be female, and at least humanoid (preferably human)
Genma must stay male, but turn into something not even remotly humanoid (prefrebaly an animal of some sort).
The curses do NOT take over their personalitys, but may influence them. (ie: if Ranma becomes sailor moon, he will still know he's a guy and that his name is Ranma, but will feel the urge to cry and make long, embarasing speaches and pose a lot)
The Banana, the Atheist's Nightmare:
God made it with a non-slip surface, a color coded system so we know when to eat it, and an easy open tab at the top of the banana. It's just the right shape for a mouth and is easy to digest!!
