Spanish Woman Claims She Now Owns Sun (didnt buy Uranus)
AFP/FOX NEWS ^ | nov 26, 2010 | afp

(AFP) - After billions of years the Sun finally has an owner -- a woman from Spain's soggy region of Galicia said Friday she had registered the star at a local notary public as being her property.

Angeles Duran, 49, told the online edition of daily El Mundo she took the step in September after reading about an American man who had registered himself as the owner of the moon and most planets in our solar system.

There is an international agreement which states that no country may claim ownership of a planet or star, but it says nothing about individuals, she added.

"There was no snag, I backed my claim legally, I am not stupid, I know the law. I did it but anyone else could have done it, it simply occurred to me first."

The document issued by the notary public declares Duran to be the "owner of the Sun, a star of spectral type G2, located in the centre of the solar system, located at an average distance from Earth of about 149,600,000 kilometers."

I own Seti Alpha VI.
It’s a garden planet.
I hope to retire in about 20 years.

Yup, and wait till she gets sued for all the skin cancer her property is causing, not to mention climate change.

her claim’s crazy, of course; everyone knows the sun’s owner lives in Montana.

She doesn’t have a leg to stand on... back in ‘97, Smash Mouth was “Walkin’ On The Sun”.

I'll take WASP-12B and all of its corundum. Now just to make a spacecraft to make the 1600 light year round trip and survive the 2,000+ degree Celsius temps to gather my spoils and get them back to market.

“Did she plant her mark on it? Set foot on it?”

That is what I was thinking. I wonder when she is going to make the trip and visit her property. You never know when squatters may move in and take over. hahahahaha
