Great and the good

I am not a slavish follower of football but I read that Manchester City are hoping to sign Kaka from Berlusconi's team AC Milan, for an absurd sum.

I should have thought he had one problem at Milan - his name sounds like (albeit spelled with a C) the Italian for 'shit'.

It always raises an eyebrow when I read of actress Salma Hayek. Nice to have the surname of a great economist but Salma in Italian means 'corpse'.
