My brother has a hobby of teaching himself to speak different languages. If he was bored, he would go buy a book about speaking Polish or Chinese or German... Now that he's a student at an Ivy League university, he's taking time each semester to take classes on a new language. This semester he's learning Portuguese. If he wanted to, I think my brother could have more MySpace friends than Tila Tequila.

I have a question, though. Does friendship mean the same thing in every language and culture that MySpace attracts? I'll ask my brother...
