Welcome to the pantheon. The perks? The knowledge (at least in my case) that you have tortured people with 500 or more posts.

Congratulations... I think you should celebrate by declaring an avatar. ;D Declare it as what? Help me out here, I'm new to this God status. I want some perks, dammit! ;D Do I get a free week's stay at the PD beach house in Hawaii? Anything? A ride in the PD Winnebago?

You want perks? We'll get a couple of perky BOW members to follow you around all day playing harps and lutes and feeding you peeled grapes and wine - LOL
And PD has a Winnebago? Do I have to be a God to get a trip on that?
Finally, Philbo I bow down to your Godly greatness, at least for the next 5 minutes anyway..... ;D Just keep them thunderbolts in the Northern Hemisphere!

You can have the 44 virgins, Tony. I'll take a few experienced women all day, every day. I never understood that "72 virgins in paradise" sales pitch for strapping a bomb on your body. Who thought that up? Like anyone wants to spend eternity teaching Ice Queens anything? Not me. ;D

That's respect. ;D PD better have a Winnebago, or you're going to see one very pissed off God. Locusts anyone? I wish we had thunder, D'oh. Scraped 3 inches of flurries off the driveway this AM.

According to Christoph Luxenberg's book, Die Syro-Aramaische Lesart des Koran, it's not 72 virgins- it's raisins. "... 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. Luxenberg claims that the context makes it clear that it is food and drink that is being offerred, and not unsullied maidens or houris. In Syriac, the word hur is a feminine plural adjective meaning white, with the word "raisin" understood implicitly. Similarly, the immortal, pearl-like ephebes or youths of suras such as LXXVI.19 are really a misreading of a Syriac expression meaning chilled raisins (or drinks) that the just will have the pleasure of tasting in contrast to the boiling drinks promised the unfaithful and damned." My trusty Egyptian manservant, Al Suq Aqueer, looked absolutely mortified when I told him.

Wouldn't that be hiliarous? Some schmuck arrives in heaven, horny as a goat and loaded for bear, and he gets handed a box of raisins?
Oh man, that would be awesome just to see the look on his face. ;D
Remember that old Looney Toons cartoon where the Elmer Fudd gets hosed by Bugs Bunny and he turns into a giant lollipop with ALL DAY SUCKER printed on it?
Hahahahaha...
Maybe God has a sense of humor. Let's hope!
