So, I'm reading about virgin martyred saints and so far my favorite is St. Christina (feast day 7/24, folks). She was imprisoned by her Dad, Governor Urban, after destroying his collection of pagan idols and then tortured by several successing pagan regimes. At one point her breast was cut off by Governor Dion and instead of renouncing Christ (or dying) she threw her severed breast at his face. She did the same thing to the person who cut off the other one. Awesome.

"You boob thrower" is now my favorite insult/compliment.
I know, isn't it great?
