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'.

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.

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.
