Fun Fact

In many "romance" languages (ie. French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian) the word for subway is "metro." I always wondered where that came from. It's not even close to "train" in any of the aforementioned languages, which only fits considering that's what a subway is. Well, I learned in Paris that the French "metro" stands for "Métropolitain." Doesn't really help crack the code, but at least I have an answer.
