I have long been amused at the practical issues associated with the promise that a suicide bomber will be rewarded with 72 virgins. Although I did read one scholar who claimed it was a misprint and they really get 72 grapes. If thats true can you imagine the reaction having arrived in paradise a bit frazzled following the explosion with an expectation of some serious horizontal activity and to be given a bunch of grapes !!!
But even if the 72 virgins concept is true, come on guys can you imagine it 72 women !! That means for you a different one every 5 days, which is kind of attractive.
But for them that means once a year, which I feel could lead to a complaint or two from the ladies.
Lets assume for a moment that once these virgins have been introduced to the pleasures of the flesh that they develope just a modest desire, say once a month, (yes girls I know some of you prefer at least once a day), but lets stick for the moment to once a month.
Now our suicide bomber is required to perform every 10 hours, with no break.
It would appear that the Qoran is wiser than I imagined and suicide bombing is punished by an interesting and quite novel form of hell.
