Luxenberg's new analysis, leaning on the Hymns of Ephrem the Syrian, yields "white raisins" of "crystal clarity" rather than doe-eyed, and ever willing virgins - the houris.

Well, 72 x 5 = 360. So arguable, if the terrorist is only with 1 virgin a day, he'd only have to be with each virgin 5 times a year.CFLarsen said:
