I was browsing the web when I saw this article. Of course, I got a good laugh from it. The ability of people to scheme up new ways of making money amazes me, it really does. I'm interested in seeing what comes of this, because this lady clearly thinks she has it all figured out legally. Excerpt from the article:
Looks like all those photosynthesizing organisms out there better cough up some cash :rofl:"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 kilometers."
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.
