Sites For Sore Eyes

There are always lots of wacky web things to be found in WFMU's Sites For Sore Eyes, but raptureletters.com takes the cake.
If you wish to do something now that will help your unbelieving friends and family after the rapture, you need to add those persons email address to our database. Their names will be stored indefinitely and a letter will be sent out to each of them on the first Friday after the rapture. Then they will receive another letter every friday after that.
How thoughtful of The Saved. It's comforting to know that The Chosen Ones are able to be this considerate. Not only will they leave a note behind, we'll get it emailed to us every Friday. Spam from the great beyond. For eternity.

Actually, I'm hoping the rapture happens fairly soon. The sudden heaven-exodus of millions of people will mean that there'll be some cool apartments available. And think of what it'll do to the real estate market. It'll be a buyer's bonanza! Newly married non-believing couples will finally be able to afford a nice home in the suburbs. Maybe it'll free up whole buildings and condos that can then be converted into affordable housing for low-income non-believing families and the heathen homeless. Our new slogan will be: "Don't repent; Save your rent! Your dream home is at hand!"

Of course, maybe if some of The Saved had put as much thought and effort into helping the homeless and the less fortunate as they put into this wonderful software and web site...well, who am I to criticize The Saved? Guess it really isn't what ya know, but Who ya know.

And speaking of religion, who knew that stove burners were not that far removed from religious icons? Or what beautiful structures can be built when we put our heads together (scroll down to see the pics of the Ossuary In Sedlec, Czech Republic).

And surely something--or someone--has possessed this three-year-old Korean girl.

Kinda makes you think, doesn't it? So make sure you live every day to the fullest, because you never know what might happen.
