Well, technically, you just need to be born here.  You don't even need to
have "American" blood to be of American nationality.

Like I said, it's on Gainax's site.  But, I'm not sure which version is
right.

Yes, I admitted that.  BTW, I checked up as I promised, and the FAQ also
says it was an N2 bomb.  I wonder if he just made the same assumption we
both made or if he knows something else.

Where in ep. 7 is this BTW?  On a paper somewhere?  I want to go see this.
BTW: another funny unrealistic note... something the size of Mars would
completely destroy the earth. ^_^

This is odd.  I just checked the LTS for ep. 7 and Ritsuko says that the
official cover up said that a massive meteroite was involved in the Second
Impact.  Another mistake?

Actually it does refer to the loss of the four seasons in Japan.  It's
under the "Noises of Cicadas," IIRC.
