Rapture insurance. Did you know it exists? Me neither, but Fox has the news:

A new Web site is offering a miraculous service — e-mails sent to loved ones left behind on Earth after you’ve been swept up to heaven in the Rapture.

YouveBeenLeftBehind.com promises to alert up to 62 people exactly six days after the event that, according to the Bible, signals the beginning of Armageddon, Wired magazine’s Threat Level reports.

“You’ve Been Left Behind gives you one last opportunity to reach your lost family and friends for Christ,” the site promoting the service says.

Final e-mails from vanished subscribers will be triggered when three of the site’s five Christian staffers fail to log in for six days in a row.

“In the encrypted portion of your account you can give them access to your banking, brokerage, hidden valuables and powers of attorneys,” the site says.

“There won’t be any bodies, so probate court will take seven years to clear your assets to your next of kin. Seven years, of course, is all the time that will be left,” it explains. “So, basically the Government of the Antichrist gets your stuff, unless you make it available in another way.”

There’s a bit more info at Wired Threat Level.
