Metafilter is closed for the Rapture unfortunately, things really do seem a little borked... but maybe its just me.
Hmm, usually they say what they're doing here, but nothing so far.

And the world hasn't ended yet. Go figure.

I can access MeTa, but not AskMe or Mefi.

Personally I'd prefer normal service to the let's-all-stop-to-point-and-laugh-at-the-Rapture-folks version.

I first thought it was just some pranky little pop-up and I could shut it down and continue to the site as normal, and that cracked me up. But if there is a way to do that, I can't figure it out. So yeah, not my favourite stunt.

Today, woot.com delivered my latest "Bag of Crap" random merchandise box, containing dog brushes, a laptop cooler, a Batman action figure and a $40 RC helicopter I will be divebombing the neighbors with as soon as it charges. All for $8. That's why it sells out in 2 minutes every time it's offered.

To put it simply, I haven't been Raptured, I've been Craptured.

Normal service seems to be back now.

Thanks, gc. I was out of town and missed it all. Kamloops, BC appears to be rapture-proof.
