"After billions of years the Sun finally has an owner — a woman from Spain's soggy region of Galicia says she's registered the star at a local notary public as being her property. Angeles Duran, 49, told the online edition of daily El Mundo on Friday 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 kilometres". Duran, who lives in the town of Salvaterra do Mino, said she now wants to slap a fee on everyone who uses the Sun and give half of the proceeds to the Spanish government and 20 per cent to the nation's pension fund. She would dedicate another 10 per cent to research, another 10 per cent to ending world hunger — and would keep the remaining 10 per cent herself. "It is time to start doing things the right way. If there is an idea for how to generate income and improve the economy and people's well-being, why not do it?" she asked" source: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/8171119/spanish-woman-claims-ownership-of-the-sun

How is it stupid? People buy stars all the time. Its just now that she owns the sun. Its not stupid. Its probably a waste of money. I wonder how she is going to vacation there. |

I don't get how you can buy a star. There's no purpose. It's like Babe, I bought you a star, she/he can't touch it, it's basically meaning to others and self. |

I'm not spending over a million dollars just so she can kill herself. I'll just be cheap and buy her a gun. |
