   (Original)   Three French hens
   (Montalvo)   3 weapon rings 
                [well, it HAS to be a Minbari reference;

   (Hudson)     A new Centauri Republic
   (Hudson)     3 Narn's a scheming
   (Shupe)      3 Minbari castes (I like classes)

                And I agree that "3" has got to be a Minbari thing.

                and Sinclair-post)

               *(Or "a-nibbling"?)
   (Montalvo)  *"6 ducks a-waving".  Makes perfect sense within the 
                B5 net universe, is nonsense to everyone else.  
                I definitely like it.

                and that's FINAL.  Hrmph. ;)
   (Hazlewood) *Six Centauri ducks?
