Mildly entertaining coincidences

[Mandieta6]

I was glancing the indian thread earlier when I realised. The word india in hebrew, means both India, AND turkey. The bird. And in english, Turkey means both the turkish country, AND the bird. i wonder whether this happens in every language, is Pavo a country? Anyway, to justify this moronic and ironic statement, why don't you share some mildly entertaining coincidences with the rest of SG? No? Then go away.
