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 that 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 the sunroof 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.

"I was 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.

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.

Do you frigging believe this? How crazy are these people? What the hell was she doing for brains? How did she ever make it to 28 years old?

If this is the type of fundy crazy that we're dealing with, then I say just hang it up folks. There is no way of dealing with people this stupid. Can't talk to them, they're delusional all all geared up hoping to die.

I'm just so appalled I could scream. I know that there should be some pity in me somewhere for this idiot, and I am looking for it, but it must be buried so damn deep that I just can't find it.

If this was a dupe, sorry. I ran a search on it, nothing even close came up.

... they'll all jump out of their cars soon and we'll be rid of them.

... we need to CONVERT them back ....

but this is lunacy

Probably on Snopes...

On edit: Yes, it's false.

...from a "6 Feet Under" episode. Still funny, though...

the lady was played by Beth Grant in an episode last season

on edit: the episode was #41 entitled "In Case of Rapture" the character's name was Dorothy Sheedy

but it's still funny as hell. I mean it's not funny that the woman died, but these nutbags looking for the rapture around every corner are freaking insane.

I ask this because this is the exact script for the beginning of a 'Six Feet Under' episode on HBO this season... Exactly.

Sorry, but it sounded like some of the things that Darwin Award nominees have done.

see if you can figure out which ones." I am going to go ahead and call BS on this one...

We produce a fake rapture. We get all these hologram machines and sound systems hidden behind billboards and stuff.

The story is a hoax. See http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/m/mistakenrapture.htm

However, the scene described (with some modifications) was one of my favorite opening "death scenes" on Six Feet Under last season.

Unbelievable!

I don't mean to be mean, but there is something very funny about this story and at the same time it is very frightening how screwed up these people are. I seriously don't know if I should be angry at myself for laughing or in tears over what they caused. Please help me regain my sanity!

Rolling on the floor choking on my own spit!!!

However, if true, I believe this woman would deserve a Darwin.

Good comment.

BTW I have to admit I fell for it. Shame on me. Heh.

Last time I saw this urban legend was when someone e-mailed it to me on September 10, 2001. I don't know why that is stuck in my memory but it is. Better look out tomorrow.

but it was funny as hell!

"Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
'cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her for his bride..."

new lyric:

"and were they talkin' 'bout yew
jumpin out the top of that subaru
tryin to float up up to heaven
on eyewitness news at seven..."

but it is hilarious nonetheless... I still can't stop laughing.

There was an HBO show on recently where a truck carrying helium filled sex dolls wrecked and the dolls floated into the sky... A woman sees this, screams that the rapture has arrived and walks into a highway where she was promptly turned into road kill...

He borrowed the concept. Still funny, though.

But NOT hard to believe! :D

According to the UrbanLegends website this is false and has been cirulating around the net since August 2001.

It is satire, but not far fetched from reality (IMHO).

Great story, but google her name and you will find it is a hoax.

And who says there aren't good TV writers anymore?:D

don't you see the possibilities here?
Organize Mobilize
Everyone with a pickup truck ,eet me in St. Louis on SUnday.
I'll bring the dolls.
McDonalds can donate the helium.

We'll ride through the south like a knife through a knish, and release the dolls

Who'll take Missouri, now that Holy John is on the train home He'll be the first to clutch his chest

Go Dems

whalerider55

i could borrow a friends pickup...and i will spring for the blow-up sex dolls...will anyone spring for the helium?

If this works, we could have the country back blue again by day after tomorrow.

So unless someone saw it and planned it perfectly, with the perfect victim, its bullshit.
