Not to hijack a perfectly funny post but that is one of the thing I have been noticing: there are certain words, I guess you would call them root words, that are just about the same in most languages. Sugar is one, in arabic it's sokhar, in spanish azucar etc. Makes you wonder what the orginal root language sounded like before the "Tower of Babel" fell.
Then again, television is televizon in arabic, televisione in spanish, etc. I guess them thar Babelonians had some darn good TV technology back then.
