Yeah, that's probably about right.

I was watching the "Human Planet" series, and this was one of the best pieces. However, I hadn't noticed the Dorobo - どろぼう coincidence! This is just lovely.

So bad ass in fact, that it can only be fake. Even if you provide proof showing that it is NOT fake. My brain will just reject it, Fake.

My coworker is from Kenya and he said those guys have absolutely no fear of death.
They are hired as guards for people's homes and will kill a person as quickly as any animal.

"False cognates are pairs of words in the same or different languages that are similar in form and meaning but have different roots. That is, they appear to be, or are sometimes considered, cognates, when in fact they are not."

Your absolutely correct.
Lol, I even quoted wikipedia and missed "The term 'false cognate' is sometimes used incorrectly for False friend."
"False friends (French: faux amis) are pairs of words or phrases in two languages or dialects (or letters in two alphabets) that look or sound similar, but differ in meaning."
