EnRaptured

1. Reading Liz Jensen's The Rapture (which is set in a fictional south-coast town uncannily reminiscent of Folkestone)

2. BBC News remarkably restrained:

An atheist and entrepreneur from New Hampshire, Bart Centre, is enjoying a boost in business for Eternal Earth-bound Pets, which he set up to look after the pets of those who believe they will be raptured.

He has more than 250 clients who are paying up to $135 (£83) to have their pets picked up and cared for after the rapture.

They would be disappointed twice, he told the Wall Street Journal. "Once because they weren't raptured and again because I don't do refunds."

3. The world had better not end before Doctor Who at 6:45.
