I have no idea if this is true or not, but someone was telling me that the "seventy-one virgins" thing is actually a mistranslation from earlier text. The passage, my informant claims, deals with a long list of goodies offered in Paradise, and that specific section is really talking about an unlimited supply of sweet raisins!

Life can be a bitch sometimes. I guess death ain't much better.
