Farsi of the day

Some things really do sound better in English.

I mention this because I've been doing a bit of injudicious translation. Take, as I did, the phrase "the great gray green greasy Limpopo river."

In Farsi it turns out "bozorg khakestari sabz roghani Limpopo rud."

I'm not making this up.
