Coincidence!

Sometimes expressions from one language resemble expressions in another language, even if the languages aren't related.

I thought "two birds with one stone" resembling 「一石二鳥」was just a coincidence. After reading the wikipedia entry here, now I know that 「一石二鳥」is a translation of "two birds with one stone". Wikipedia is wonderful.
