13. I know someone who was really wrapped up in the rapture thing

in college. One time during the night they cleared everyone off his dorm floor to the next floor and someone stood at the end of the hall and blew a trumpet, then went to the next floor. The guy got up and looked all around and thought the rapture had happened and he was the only one left behind.

15. That belongs in the college prank hall of fame.
