#1 Darwin lifetime achievement nomination

I can't vouch for the authenticity, but I just got this in my email:


ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- A Little Rock woman was
killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sunroof during
an incident best described as a "mistaken rapture" by dozens of
eye-witnesses. Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile-up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman, who was apparently convinced the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man
on the side of the road who she believed was Jesus.

"She started screaming `He's back! He's back!' and climbed out through thesunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "Iwas slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I
stopped," Williams said.

She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was
gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.
"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene Madison
questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was on
his way to a toga costume party, when the tarp covering the bed of his
pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow-up sex dolls filled with helium, which then floated up into the sky.

Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted
his arms into the air in frustration and said "Come back," just as the
Williams' car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into heaven as they drove by him.

"I think my wife loved Jesus more than she loved me," the widower said when asked why his wife would do such a thing.
When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls, Jenkins replied, "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like happen."

1. I tried not to, because the story involved a death

but I couldn't help myself, I'm laughing my tuchy off. Blow Up Dolls. Priceless.

without helium balloons and imposters.

4. Sounds fake, with too many coincidences, but it's

interesting that she thought that Jesus could raise her to Heaven, but wouldn't be able to compensate for the fact that a car was around her.

5. This is the way an episode of Six Feet Under started

With the inflatable sex dolls popping loose from under a tarp on the back of a truck and floating up into the air. A pedestrian looked up, thought they were angels, walked into traffic and was run over.

9. whoever wrote it.......

has a future in entertainment

8. A glimpse into the mind of a born-again Christian

Its a real testament (pun intended) to the power of the revivalist movement in this country when something like this happens. What scares me is that, although the sex toy thing is too far fetched, some of these people have the "devotion" and blind, thoughtless faith to a perversion of Christianity at a level where you could get them to do anything. Further investigation required.

10. She may have been right!

Unless Jesus rejected her for being so g*&Da&$#ed bloody stupid she did get to go to heaven, assuming it exists.

Ok, I know it's a fake story, still ROFLMAO (but not literally on LMAO part) :D

11. I have a copy of this one

12. It's an adaptation

to the opening scene from "Six Feet Under".
