Woman claims to own the sun

[Doc Snow]

Alright, saw this on AOTS and confirmed it on the web and i want to see what y'all had to say about this.
as quoted from the escapist:

"A woman that says she's taking advantage of international law has staked a claim on the sun."

apparently she claimed the sun, says it's hers and Duran says: "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." She plans on charging a fee to anyone that "uses the Sun," giving half to Spain, 20% to Spain's pension fund, 10% to research, 10% towards ending world hunger, and she's keeping the remainder for herself.

WTF!!!

Right. I say all of us get together and buy the Moon and charge her. See how she likes it. But half should buy the stars as well. And a quarter get the clouds too. A different quarter should get the rain or snow. Depending on how much of which she gets more of.

I call Earth. Everyone on the planet owes me a hundred dollars in rent.

What the hell, Spain! America is supposed to be the country where all the stupid things happen! :(

And yeah, I'd like to see her TRY to charge people for "using the sun". Why doesn't Cowboy just claim the atmosphere and charge her a few thousand dollars for all the time she's been using it to stay alive? :P

I think because noone technically can own something in space, we can own it...so basically everything outside our own atmosphere is free dibs...except the moon.

Dibs on Uranus.

I'm sure it would be cheap though. I hear it smells.
Also really cheap, Pluto. Since it's not a planet.

@Erethzium

I plan on charging her $500 per SECOND for use of MY oxygen.

For her, at least. You guys are cool, so its free for y'all.
