Maybe they only get to do one virgin five hundred and four times? I concede that she might have been a virgin the first time, but what was she the succeeding 503 times?
Please do not tell me, "happy."

Reuters, they just can’t get it right.
The suicide bomber in question was a double agent. He had been turned by M2y, the Afghan counterspy agency and induced to perform his Paradise Inducing act to kill Taliban rather than good Moslems.
