stranger than heaven: Man Attempts Heaven Hoax, Accidentally Discovers Actual Paradise in Local DMV
In a plot twist that even Hollywood screenwriters would call "stranger than heaven," a Kansas man’s elaborate attempt to fake his own ascension by attaching helium balloons to a lawn chair went so wrong it ended with him stuck in a DMV line for six hours. Witnesses report he spent the wait serenading exasperated employees with a perfect rendition of "Angels" by Robbie Williams, leading the office to declare the line itself a spiritual experience. "I tried to reach the pearly gates," he told reporters, "but apparently the gates are staffed by one person and require a number ticket." The DMV has since added a tiny cloud motif to their ceiling, citing "atmospheric inspiration."
