You know, it is really nice of them to be so considerate. If it was me being taken to heaven I'd want to send a .wav file that was the Simpon's Nelson Muntz saying "HAHA!"
I'm really curious how they trigger that. I'm envisioning some kind of heart or brainwave monitor with cellular capability that can signal a mail server. However, there wouldn't be any way to differentiate between "Joe was just raptured up to heaven" and "Joe just met a hot girl and took his monitor off." Maybe you could have some kind of cooperation among multiple monitors, so if a bunch of people suddenly can't be detected, the signal is sent.
Bob,
Yeah. Is someone going to stick around to pull the switch?
according to the site:
"It's a dead man switch that will automatically send the emails when it is not reset."
I'm waiting for someone to go on a week-long fishing trip, and forgetting to get Billy Bob to cover for them at The Switch.
Yeah, my thought was that whoever's in charge of setting the thing will forget, or lose interest, or die, and then suddenly a lot of people will get *very* strange emails.
I do this out of love, you know:

The joke's going to be on a lot of people when they realize that the Rapture already happened just under two thousand years ago when the seven hundred or so faithful were taken up, and they could have been slow dancing and coveting their neighbor's ass this entire time.
I don't think christians should be allowed to drive. It just isn't safe.
i'm not really up on Rapturology, but if the Rapture happened two thousand years ago then wasn't something supposed to happen about a thousand years ago?
I thought there was something about a thousand years and then the devil coming, or something.
You're right. The rapture happened about 1030 years ago and the devil was Nixon. Read yr VALIS.
