   Hi Victor,

   If you’re into this sort of thing, have a look at the Online Etymology Dictionary, http://www.etymonline.com/index.php.

   In short, “man” and “woman” are Old English words that went through a series of mutations, and “human” (plural “humans”) is a more recent import from Latin.

   Did I just out-silly you by actually replying?

   You really shed some light over my midnight mental mystery! It seems pretty logical, now that I think about it hee hee!
   No, you didn’t out-silly me! It takes a human being a lot of practrice to be able to each my level of silliness!
   Thanks for the reply, again!
