See, I was watching the first series recently, and I noticed...if you look at some things in the anime, there are some REALLY random items.

For example, when Roy is asked to pay for Ed's hospital bill, if you actually pause it when it shows the letter that Roy is holding, you'll notice that there's a paragraph that talks about the British Empire... confused

Also, in the brother's flashback about meeting Izumi, when Ed finds Hohenheim's notes in the books, you'll see that the 'notes'...are really just a bunch of random sentences. I laughed when I noticed that. 3nodding
