The best way to tell if your date is married is if they have a tan line on their finger and if they drive a car not in their name.

Final Fantasy VII was based on the Koran. In the Koran, the Sephiroth is the tree of life. There are other similarities but I'm lazy so check it out for yourself :P

There is more than just that similarity in FFVII, for instance the great city being Midgar and Midgar being the land of the Norse gods.

In Hebrew, Sephiroth means 'circle path'.

Don't know if I said this already but, the voice actor for Rikku in FFX is the same voice actor for Timmy in The Fairly Oddparents, Tara Strong. She's also toe voice of Presea, Corinne, and one of the three sisters that make up the summon spirit of light in Tales of Symphonia.

The largest number of children born to one woman is recorded at 69. From 1725-1765, a Russian peasant woman gave birth to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets.

There is no universally agreed upon plural word for Platypus, scientists generally use "Platypuses" or simply "Platypus". But some people also say "Platypi" which is pseudo-Latin. The Greek plural would be "Platypodes".

Distilled water does not conduct electricity.

Water, in its purity, does not conduct electricity. As distillation is a purifying process, the water produced from it is rather pure. As a result it does not conduct electricity.

Glass is not a true solid, it's somewhere between a solid and a liquid, also called an amorphous solid. If you look at windows to really old houses (100 years old or more I think) you can see that the bottom of the window is actually thicker than the top because it slowly flows downward. Assuming none of the windows have been replaced of course.

Disney only shades the way it does because they animate every single frame of every single movie by hand. They have no held frames whatsoever.

Ever needed a 9V and had nothing but AA's?  That's fine.  You can actually just modify the plug and string 6 AA's together and you've got a 9 volt battery. (AA's are 1.5V)

While Tomb Raider was first being created, the original name idea for Lara Croft was Lara Cruz.  They decided to go with Croft because it's a British name, and as the creation process went on, they wanted her to be as British as possible.

The "tough on crime" policies that have lead to a devastating and ineffective "War on Drugs" started because conservatives saw that they could take advantage of racist southern governors that were becoming increasingly skeptical of the democratic party because they were starting to fight for civil rights.

Slight word correction on that.  It was the last one that was 100% hand-drawn.  The last one that was done that had any handart was either Home On the Range or Brother Bear; I don't remember which one came last.

I don't have the best memory but I usually remember the jist of everything....man I'm screwed in college lol.

Names in Arabic can be as long as the person wants them to be, and the main repetitive points are stating family lineage. The very last part of one's name would be the name of where you came from.
