LOL!also, fun fact of the day:brazil is the only country in south america to speak pourtugese instead of spanish. When the new world was discovered, Spain and Pourtugal met with the Pope (yea, the Vatican actually had power at that time) and the pope drew a line on an "incomplete" map of the world (did not have south america, only the newly "discovered" parts of north america) this line was litterally a shot in the dark as to who would get what... spain got everything west of the line, portugaul (sp?) got everything east of the line.After landing in south america, portugual found that they got a very tiny amount of land, so they explored inland and claimed as much land as possible with the argument that they "started" on the east side of the line. That is why Brazil, the only land portugual laid claim to, is such a large chunk of land, and why it speaks portuguese instead of spanish.-Chris</blockquote>
