I was going to respond to this anyway, but since someone made a 
reference to me...

"Yes, it is an oldwive's tale created by hoomuns. It goes back to the 
barbaric days of greggil religion. Virgins were considered untainted 
sacrifices fit for gods. Virginity was sometimes required to become a 
shaman or priestess or whatever, because they thought it enhanced 
natural magic abilities, that might be dissipated through you-know. Back 
then, some greggils thought their god came as or sent a monster to 
destroy their crops and cattle as punishment and they had to make a 
sacrifice to appease him/her/it. Supposedly, the god accepted the 
sacrifice by the monster eating the virgin as in the myth of Andromeda. 
Add one opportunist dragon and voil�. It's kept alive because many 
female greggils find something appealing about the concept, in fantasy 
if not necessarily in practice.

  Of course we don't eat them. Knights taste ever so much better. Especially 
after you shell them and spread on a little dragon sauce before you roast 
them. BTW, I'm preparing to put put a copy of the dragon cook book, if anyone 
wants a copy. I know it's been out of "print" since about 1100, but I still 
have my families copy.

	How many times do I have to say it?!  Don't eat humans, they're 
very bad for you.  Humans are currently the fifth fattest creatures on 
the planet.  That's more fat than your average pig!  And they eat all 
sorts of things with preservatives and carcinogens and other really 
unpleasant things in them.  They're disgusting!  Take my advice: stick 
with cows.

ACK!!!!

My picture [the on in the title line]
Is so big that whenever I put it in quotes it gets all messed up...I dunno
how to repost without apending it or retyping it <nooooooooo...> so you'll
have to ask someone else of alt.asii-art...

  On behalf of all of us that put so much work into the PPP (Princess 
Protection Plan) I resent that slur. We put a lot of gold and time into 
resettling both virgins and princesses. Of all of them the princesses, for the 
most part were the most ungreatful of the bunch too. All that "This bed is too 
hard. The food is terrible. I want to go hooome." If it hadn't been for my 
protectors oath, I would have sent most of them back. In all those centuries, 
only two were greatful for being kept alive.

  Truthfully, I owe my surviving the hero spell this long to the children of 
one. He studied long and hard to change it for me. Besides, I always liked 
Knights better. They had a higher "iron" content.

  Not the ones _I_ had to deal with. Sheesh, they way they would carry on. 
That's why I got stuck with getting them ready for their new lives. _I_ 
couldn't be seen, so _I_ was less "threatening."
