Having Fun with the Rapture

We're now two days past Harold Camping's latest "boy who cried wolf" rapture prediction, and Camping is apparently "looking for answers" as to why he's still here with us sinners. (Probably because we're all sinners in the eyes of the Lord.)

Those of us expecting a more traditional demise went about our daily business. And then some had some fun with "Rapture Hoaxes," like this scene at Western and Lunt sent to us by tipster L B. If you have photos of Rapture hoaxes around town and use flickr, tag those suckers with "Chicagoist." We'll be glad to set up a gallery.
