is most of the time, and all of sudden, some of the cars are driverless with the car in gear!



Talk about a fucking nightmare. WTOP would be running traffic information 24x7. Even the ICC would be clogged.

I have. Many times. It's like begging death to just suck you out of the car and send you straight to hell. Besides, the rapture sucking half of the people out of their cars probably wouldn't be noticed. Most rush hour cars don't seem to have drivers in them anyway.

On Edit: Originally, Randolph Road from 29 to Georgia Avenue was supposed to be part of it. Apparently it didn't work out that way. Boston has two beltways and BOTH are royally fucked up - 24x7.

Wouldn't that be counter productive?



The Rapture would certainly lower the religious asshole types (RAT) index significantly.

If the Rapture actually happens, won't only the truly good Christians be raptured, leaving all the asshole, fundy, hate-mongering, holier than thou Christians behind with us pagans, heathens, atheists, and Buddhists?
