What do famous Brazilian soccer players and the Super Tuesday primaries have in common? If you guessed "nothing," you are 100 percent correct. But that doesn't mean we're not going to link the two.
Brazil has the world's best soccer players, and many have come to be known by one name: Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cafu, Kaka or, going back a few decades to the original uni-namer, Pele. Now there's a wonderful online name generator ( http://www.minimalsworld.net/BrazilName/brazilian.shtml) that will let you type in anyone's name and have it create a Brazilian soccer name for them.
Once we finished typing in names of our co-workers and friends, we moved on to the ever-shrinking field of 2008 presidential candidates. (And you thought you wasted time at work.) So here, undecided voters of America, is yet one more bit of information to add to your ballot-punching calculus -- assuming, of course, that none of these candidates has bailed since we went to press.
