Woman in Spain claims she owns the sun. What now?
Woman Says She Owns The Sun

A woman in Spain has registered the sun as her property at a notary public.

Angeles Duran says now that she owns the sun, she wants to charge everyone who uses it. She says she’ll keep only 10% of the proceeds for herself. The rest would go to Spain’s government and ending world hunger.

If her claim holds up I am putting dibs on the moon. Romantic full moons ought to be worth something.

3. apparently, someone already holds rights to the moon
and several planets in the solar system.....

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.

4. Duran's claim is bogus because he didn't make his claim in the name of the Giant Sphagetti Monster.

12. But there is a new moon every 28 days so your claim is very short-lived
