Spanish woman claims ownership of the Sun

[SextusMaximus]

Anyone want to address a letter to the Ancient Greeks / Romans / British / ...well... everyone was Pagan ever?

 

[Ithera]

If A man can snag the moon, I don't see why she can't have the sun. But i believe she should put in an effort, like going to the sun in person and officially plant her flag. As for paying her proposed sun tax?



No.

 

[ReaperzXIII]

Well if this is true then Assassin's Creed 3

Spoiler

will be about going to Spain and killing this woman. She's obviously a Templar.

She has a piece of eden! Come my fellow assassins, take up your arms and pick up your fingers if you haven't found out the new hidden blade design! We will find this Templar ***** and do what needs to be done!

Btw I now own Jupiter and Neptune, and in their core I shall build a space ship so I can pilot an entire planet! Because as everyone knows the Big Bang was actually just the gunshot to start the Big Race where galaxies are going to the finish line!

 

[Mighty Lighty]

Does she take Visa?

Also, how does she deal with people who refuse to pay? Repossession is going to be a *****.

You get a umbrella strapped to your head FOREVER!!

 

[CouchCommando]

Considering I live a nation that came into being due to the original inhabitants not having a flag, I must ask wheres the flag?

she now wants to slap a fee on everyone who uses the Sun

But wait a second, wouldn't that just be taxing literally every non-aquatic organism on planet Earth?

You could claim you do not want the Sun, and the Sun is simply forcing itself on you. Lightrape if you will.

I feel so.... soiled. D:

 

[Fredrikorex]

Does this mean I have to stick to the shadows to keep my money?

 

[Jonluw]

Does this mean I'm free to claim ownership of the rest of the milky way?

In my opinion, you can't claim ownership on a piece of land before you've actually been there; so how about we fire her into the sun?

 

[ethaninja]

Well good for her. Let's see her try to colonize it...

Especially me, coming from Australia, located three quarters of a mile from the damn thing.

 

[rokkolpo]

Ouch, I wonder if she'd make you pay extra for getting more use out of it. That'd just be heartbreaking. Lock yourself in a room with no light whatsoever and just sit there rocking back and forth.

 

[Gralian]

I am going to claim ownership to 'common sense and logic'.

For this, i'm charging that woman and everybody like her a Stupidity Tax. This also extends to the twat who claimed ownership of the moon, according to the article.

Do i win the thread now?

 

[TilMorrow]

Right if we are really able to do this sort of thing, I then want to legaly own time, dark matter, 20% of the black holes in the universe and the next planet that is discovered.

OT: Yea I see this as working.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

We should throw her into the sun.

 

[gibboss28]

This woman is awesome.

 

[Wicky_42]

She might have registered herself as "discoverer" of the sun, but the outer space treaty, which Spain has signed to my knowledge, might put an end to those plans pretty quickly.

More specifically Art. II

Article II
Outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means.

Yeah, it's the "national appropriation" there that's the loop hole she's exploiting - she's an individual, not a nation, claiming personal, not sovereign, ownership over it. I'm more surprised that a corporation hasn't tried this - presuming that this is an actually possible application :/

OT: I claim all local asteroid belts - including the unmapped ones. That's probably a good future mining investment, lol.

We should throw her into the sun.

I'd say something like "...Oh you own the sun now? Why don't you go live in it eh? Oh you physically can't? Tough luck, your Spanish nationality has been revoked, enjoy your Sunish nationality! Oh you changed your mind you say? You don't want to die? You give up the sun? Well we might be able to sort something out now, but its gonna cost ya!..."

... if there were no aquatic organisms that used light then there would be no life lol.

My first reaction was "How can people be this stupid?" and after that I made an unnecessary thread in this forum about it. (sorry)
