I was originally sent undercover to Kiev at the peak of the Orange Revolution. Once events settled down, I was reassigned to regular missionary duty. Given the time since my activities have ended and that my assets there have since retired, I have been cleared to divulge this information.

-Democritus
I don't remember authorizing that. And, did you check your DDL?

אני בת עשרים

just in case anyone had a dying desire to know what it is in Hebrew. It literally means "I am a daughter of twenty [years]"

or if you're a man: אני בן עשרים
"I am a son of twenty [years]"

Man, beats me. :) Maybe you were thinking of one of the other writers?

No, she just expects you to learn enough Farsi to answer the question. Hop to it!

As far as I know, Laser Jock does not consider it a grave insult to be mistaken for someone who speaks Farsi. I think you're OK. ;)

Haha, you're totally fine. No need for being soooo sorry. :) (And Katya is right, I'm not at all offended. I wish I spoke Farsi!)
