No, I did not notice that. Probably because I never took a French course in school.

Actually, I just supposed there were common Latin roots to both words.

You deserve another, "OoooOOOOOooooohhh!!!"

Today I go to hospital (notice how I left out "the" hospital.) to provide my latest doctors with a sample of my bone marrow. They promised they will put me "out." It's a rather painful procedure. I'll try to get back later.
