You know, Gantz is kind of a strange series, when you think about it...

Well, it's a spamfic, and it made me chuckle, so it worked.  Not much
else to say there.  :)

However, even though it doesn't quite fit with how I recall Gantz
working, I can't resist...

	"Kurono," Kato asked, "what does the scouter say about his point value?"
	Kei stared at the offending piece of equipment for a moment before
crushing it in his fist.  "It's over NINE THOUSAND!!!"
