Spanish woman registers THE SUN
November 29, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Read story.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...users.html

At first I laughed at the absurdity of this article, I nearly disregarded it as some sort of bad joke, however any amusement this news initially had vanished when I realised the corrupt greedy bitch is being deadly serious - she intends to charge us for using "her sun".

And what happens if a coronal mass ejection causes extensive damage to satellites and electrical facilities across the globe? Someone gets sunburn or skin cancer from the star? Do we get to sue her? Angry

I read about this in the newspaper. It was on the 'crazy people' section. As to the seriousness of her claims... well, you know, there are people claiming god exists too, she shouldn't be taken seriously as the former.

But wait, wasn't she supposed to BE in the sun and drive a stick onto the surface claiming ownership? Granted, if she does that, Ill pay her rights.

I'm gonna turn this around on her. Señora? Your sun gave me a very nasty sunburn; lots and lots of pain.

...I want damages.

She merely registered it in her name, I think I should register all the space between the sun and the Earth and set up a photon toll both to charge her for all the light her sun makes as it travels to Earth.

She is only trying to follow what jesus did, not what jesus said. Afterall, jesus tried to tried to register the whole universe in his own name.

I wonder how much she owes in taxes now.

-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "
