10. The Fruitcake Zone Website of the Year

Winner: Rapture Index

The Rapture Index monitors 45 world trends which 'point towards the return of Christ', each trend awarded a maximum of five points according to their danger level. When the Index overall dips below 85 points, the world is bumping along in an era of 'slow prophetic activity'; above 110 points it is enjoying a time of 'heavy prophetic activity'.

But that's not all. Todd also offers odds on Antichrists. Find out why Bill Gates has overtaken the Pope, how Ayatollah Khomeini scores for being 'one of the grumpiest men to ever live', and what rating Prince Charles gets for being a vegetarian with 'ancestral links to the Roman Empire'. Plus why we have nothing to fear from the millennium bug, because it wasn't prophesied in the Bible.
