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.
hahaha, no way. I think the Onion published a story to the wrong website. I like how 70% of the proceeds go to the State in one way or another.
What if I don’t want her sun shining on my property?
I think this is good. People will think ‘you can’t just claim ownership over something like that’. If they see that the ownership of the sun is illegitimate even if the funds go to the beloved government, perhaps they might have questions about government claims of ownership.
I’m going to call the Anti-Trust lawyers and get them to break up her solar monopoly.
We should sue her for that. We’ll say that she’s forcing sun on our grass, so now there’s too much photosynthesis and not enough Krebs cycle. In all seriousness, someone should try to sue her for every case of skin cancer (due to the Sun) just to see what she’d say.
Interesting use of a notary. She probably just filed a claim of right.

Or ownership in general. Now we’re getting somewhere!
Now we’re getting somewhere!
hell on earth?
Funny thing is someone would probably have to make a counter claim to officially clear it.
She’s too late. I already homesteaded the whole universe (including all dimensions beyond the three observable ones) by urinating, spitting and yelling in every direction. The vertical one was a bit problematic, but was well worth the extra billion cubic light years of real estate.

She has established a legal claim. Homesteading is not of that quality.

Nah, they’ll just go “See, that’s why you need the state to establish onwership. In anarchy people would just claim the sun!”
Notary publics are dime-a-dozen. Btw, I too had my universe claim notarized, and my homesteading act video-recorded, just to be sure.

Good thing too. They have enormous legal power.
