They do, however both come from the Latin word for 'separate' but "discrete" went its separate way ironically.

On the hippo theme. Hippos don't swim. They just sink to the bottom and walk or in some cases run bloody fast.

This fact is why the BBC have pulled the 'dancing hippos' (not really a fact)

The Castle Camelot of Arthurian legend was actually named after a princess from a far away land who upon visiting King Arthur's chambers for a night of passion came a lot.

King Arthur was so impressed that he named his castle after her. Incidentally the moat around the castle was added after King Arthur drew inspiration from the puddle the Princess left on his bed!

True story.

I met a nut job in a local pub who changed his name by deed poll to Stewart Pendragon, hired a small excavator and the proceeded to dig up various locations about town looking for treasure he claimed had been left there for safe-keeping by Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana.

I did say 'nut job'.
