Okay, let me try and remember my entire response to this. It shouldn't be too hard, considering the thought I put into it.
1) I still think that what plant means is more like what the plant in power plant means.
2) There are so many ways people could've found out, speculating will onlt give me a headache bigger than the one I already have from dealing with the people on the mindless babble threads. Another possibility is that people who knew he was in town one way or another somehow figured it was him.
3) That was a badly written episode, that's all I've got to say.
4) I thought it was Chapel at first, but that would disagree with my theory I presented on your Rem and Milly thread about how in the anime until that final episode where it happened Wolfwood was still supposed to end up being found out as Chapel.
5) I have no idea how you could actually notice that.... If you say so.
6) That raises an interesting question. Was it in fact those same guys that after running off in "Hard Punchers" went and told the Nebraska family in jail where Vash was?
7) I think I rememebr it showing him a small distance from the blast watching it at some point. Other than that, there is no telling.
8) He wouldn't have to know all of them to know that one. It's also possible (I think but I may be wrong) that they thought he was actually a priest from looking at him and respected that for whatever reason.
9) He could've been going for the Clark Kent effect. Most of the people on Gunsmoke don't seem to be smarter than those in Superman.
10) I think, especially in the manga, that Legato is totally addicted to eating.
11) That would seem like a very useful skill in a world like that, especially with the on-the-go professions that they all have.
12) It takes a very long time for plants, especially trees, to spread across a planet.
13) People probably just didn;t have the time to teach the younger generation how to mantain them or build new ones.
14) It never actually said there weren't more missions than that, it only made it seem like it. There could very well be others.
15) Ah, that's another thing we need a sequel for.
16) There is no telling, really. But at the same time, what are the chances that he could purposefully brak down and get stuck in the desert and be right where the bus Vash was on at the time passed through. He also was sitting possibly asleep so far away only one person noticed him, which is not the thing you'd want to do if you are in a mission from the Gung Ho Guns. Is it just me or did he look surprisingly well and non-thirsty after being stranded in the desert?
17) I think he said at some point it was a joint operation.
18) Probably an extra just put in tehre as anotehr excuse to put the cat in there. That scene wouldn't have been in the manga anyway, and so doesn't have to have everything in it important.
19) I agree. I rememebr every time I think of that scene that that is what he shoud've said right there. Not that that wuld be his actual surname, but it would be more of a tribute to Rem, just as Sanosuke Sagara, who had no last name, did in Rurouni Kenshin (which I actually like even better than Trigun, slightly, it was very hard to choose).
20) There is a good chance it is a combination of both.
21) I don't think the maker of the anime really tried to get them to match, because depending on which episodes you add up the years to find Vash's age, it comes out different.
22) 257
23) I have a good one, here goes:
Vash vows to never spell his name backwards.
Toria, the 456th Gung Ho Gun, hasa Japanese fan thing that sprays laughing gas.
"Excuse me, Vash, but can you find all the typos in this document I typed for me and tell them to me? Do it or I'll make you and everyone else here laugh until they suffocate to death!"
"H-A-S-V--NO!" And there is an episode titled "Live Through Some More" where he tries to come to terms with it.
