Dearest Lepus Rex, mightiest of rodents;

Thanks for the correction. Obviously I didn't know that. But why is the language NOW called Farsi? PS. Their national epic, Rustum and Sorhab, [I think that's right] is a great storey that doesn't seem to be in print anywhere.

Note to Guest, I think you'll find that Turkey is a country that sits on the Anatolean peninsula. A self-named country.
