Kidding aside, I've heard one scholar say it's a misinterpetation. The root is HUR and has been translated as houri. But it can also mean white rasins. Seriously.

it's not 72 virgins,it's one 72 year old virgin. That is correct. The latest, newly revised edition of Quran, which has just been published, even has her name: Janet Reno! (Although, to be complete, we must mention that there has been some dispute among Islamic scholars with one school of thought arguing that the evidence points more toward Donna Shalala.)
