Spanish woman claims she owns the sun - and now plans to start charging ALL users

[FR7 Baptist]

It has been up there in the sky in plain view for billions of years but nobody seems to have thought of its earning potential - until now.

A canny Spanish woman from Galicia - a sun-drenched region on the border with Spain and Portugal - has decided that she owns the star, and has the registration papers to prove it.

Angeles Duran, 49, says that the sun officially belongs to her now, having had the celestial body registered in her name at a local notary office.

'I know the law': An international agreement states that no country may claim ownership of a planet or star, but it says nothing about individuals

Ms Duran 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 Ms 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'.

Hmmm, does that mean everyone with skin cancer can sue her for damages? Or what about the sun damage to the paint on peoples houses and cars, I smell more lawsuits.

That was my first thought I bet she didn't think about that aspect when she formed this scam.

She can also be on the hook for global warming and the melting glaciers.

To quote the great Bugs Bunny..."what a maroon"

I was thinking the same exact thing...this is sure to give Obama some new taxation strategies.

Wonderful. I can't afford the bills I have now.

 

[Thinkingstuff]

I'm impressed. Genius!

I have a better plan. I'm working on bug that eats fiberglass. Every marina will have to pay me for not turning it loose.

So what happens if we don't pay? Is she going to turn the sun off?
