72 Virgins Awaiting Martyrs in Heaven

Category: Photo & Religion & War

We've all heard the legend that terrorists are expecting to be greeted by "72 virgins" when they "martyr" themselves and arrive in heaven.

Well, it may not be exactly as they expect:

(For the sight impaired, the photo shows a group of smiling nuns -- holding shotguns. The caption: "Much to Zarqawi's surprise, the virgins who awaited him in paradise were not quite what he expected....")

Which reminds me of another that I can dig out of my files, which I'll post tomorrow.
