Dear Internet, Translate This Page
Dear Internet
While looking through my referrer logs I noticed several hits from http://kimiya.persianblog.com/. I am always curious to see who is linking to me, and was intrigued by a Persian website finding something interesting on ye olde amishrobot so I took a look.
I scrolled down the home page (here is the link to the archive of that page in case it moves from the home page later on) and there I saw...A picture I took of Reese!
Now, Dear Internet, I am not bothered by this, rather intrigued. I have posted a comment to the site asking someone to translate for me, but no one has. I tried to email the site owner, but it bounced.
So now I call on you Internet. TRANSLATE THIS PAGE! I pay a ridiculous amount of money for you to come to my house every month, it is the least you could do.
Yours always,
JoshPS—Thanks for the headphone advice, I think I am going to get these.

Dear User,
I already do this for you, please go to http://world.altavista.com/ and type in your links and I will translate away. As an added bonus, at no additional cost above your monthly usage fee, I will throw in crazy words that don’t make much sense.
Regards Interent

Oh Internet don’t try to lie to me!
You will translate most languages for me and do it for free, but not Arabic. At least not anywhere I can find.

Actually, I’m pretty sure it is Persian (aka Farsi). I used to visit teach a Kurd from Iran who converted to the church in Canada. She moved to Memphis with her husband who is a Kurd from Iraq and a U.S. citizen. She is a Canadian citizen. She went back to Canada to get some papers and whatever so she could apply for U.S. citizenship. She is now stuck in Canada, as the U.S. government will not let her cross the border. So if she ever does get to come back to the U.S., I will ask her to translate this for you. She is very nice and I’m sure she would love to do it.

The entire page is simply text taken verbatim from the Koran. It is the only text the Ayatollah allows to be published in Iran. The picture of Reese is just eye candy like Tweety.
