Pointless fact of the week:
Three men who killed Sir Edmund Berry were hung for the murder in 1911 at London's Greenberry Hill. Their last names were Green, Berry, and Hill.

WHICH ONE??? there's a different one in almost EVERY final fantasy game! (and they're all inventors too!)

FF7 Cid, of course!

Pointless fact of the week:
A flea can jump more than a foot. Comparable to a human leaping over the Washington Monument with plenty to spare.

Belthasar is cool.

RANDOM RELATED FF FACT:
Did you know that Belthasar, Melchoir, and Gaspar are misspellings of the 3 Wise Men who visited Jesus?

Chrono Trigger is the reason I know the names of the three wise men in the first place.

Pretty cool!

Lots of games draw on some point/names in history.
