And so I wonder if these specials can be found anywhere or there are in the original dvds for example.

Hmm, I know about the Chibi Party OVA (which was apparently on the special edition DVD?), the State Alchemists vs. the homonculi, and the "future" one.
Don't know about those "parody" eps they list, though... maybe something on the JP DVDs? Like, VAs goofing off or something?

And seeing that the parody episodes are not 2-3 minutes long,like the Mai-Hime and the Shakugan No Shana specials,I'm even more eager to find them.

Those parodies must be fun. Anyone know if they're available in the US?

after checking that site again, I think they might be referring to some fandub parodies.

Full Metal Alchemist... Perhaps one of the best animes that I have ever been able to see. I like the story plot and the ideas. The art style is pretty much so... so.... I have seen all the episodes of FMA. And the bonus: State Alchemists vs Homunculli.... I have yet to watch the movie...

One of the best I've seen

I know that on the DVDs, if you go to the episodes, pick one, and when it lists out the parts of that ep, if you go far right with the cursor, an osiburous pops up.

When you click on the osiburous, a video clip (which is more like an audio clip with subtitles) of Mirror Fullmetal starts playing. It's basically the Japanese VAs messing around in-character, but it's GREAT

I think on DVD 3 one of the Mirror Fullmetals doesn't have subtitles, though (or maybe it's just the copy I bought)

Strange things happen in FMA... Why do the homunculli keep parts of their previous bodies nearby? Why don't they destroy them?

When do they keep their "previous bodies" nearby. If anything, they're brought to them. Not to mention that anime Wrath doesn't really have one.

Pride did... but it WAS in a locked safe. Personally, I'd have destroyed it. Didn't Greed, too, come to think of it? And Kimblee stole it to get back in the good graces of the military?
