[Kde-i18n-fa] Resources and another little tale

[Arash Partow]

Hi,

I'm going to reply to this but in about a 1 week time,
due to the fact that I've got some cramming to do,

The topics that I will be responding to are:

- Sarcasm
- The Persian language
- Why P is better than F
- Eminent Failure Paradox (Time Travel)

Regards

Arash
