What is a man? No, we're not talking about masculinity or going into any deep subject like that, we're going very literal.

So, what is a man? Turns out it's a Malayali guy, at least according to Wikipedia. Confused? So are we, and basically everyone else.

If you go to the Wikipedia page for 'man', they have put up a picture of a Mallu guy as the example of 'a man'. Here's the link, see for yourself.

This is so random that it's become superbly hilarious and rather one of the funniest things people have seen lately.

What do they mean? Is this how a typical man looks like? Is he the universal average for a man? Is this how a man should look like? What is it? How did this particular guy's picture end up there, instead of maybe someone famous?

We were all blessed with this cursed knowledge, thanks to Twitter user @amyoosed, who happened upon the Wikipedia page on man and decided to share the newfound knowledge on Twitter.

Desi people are obviously loving this development.

Mallu men are the best, so I approve of this. https://t.co/SuwLwvDheI

You learn something new every day.

That haircut is pretty much an identity for Malayali men.
