Don't cross her, she might turn it off
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.
Hm. To quote Ben Kenobi, "Who's the bigger fool, the fool or the fool who follows him?
But wait, there's more.
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 percent to the nation's pension fund.
Sounds like a luractive deal, at least until the waves of skin-cancer lawsuits start rolling in.
