>> I've always thought of the 72 virgins as the torture the Islamic martyrs will receive because a virgin who is truly dedicated to God won't give it up to anyone.

:-)

Hey, if they do give up their virginity, the next thing you know, our poor martyr will be out cleaning the garage.

LOL!

Hey, after I posted before I thought that maybe the virgins would all be those former nuns who taught us in Catholic grade school. Wouldn't that be a trip? I can just see Sister Mary Vincent up there right now, giving the ole martyr a piece of her mind!!

(For those who don't know, I'm just having a little bit of good Catholic humor. I never personally experienced mean nuns. Mine were all wonderful, even if they were stern sometimes. My older brothers and sister might beg to differ with me, though. They were educated pre-Vatican II, and I was more mid- to post-Vatican II.)
