"MADRID (AFP) - After billions of years the Sun finally has an owner -- a woman from Spain's soggy region of Galicia said Friday she had registered the star at a local notary public as being her property.

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.


There is an international agreement which states that no country may claim ownership of a planet or star, but it says nothing about individuals, she added.


"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 kilometres".


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.


She would dedicate another 10 percent to research, another 10 percent to ending world hunger -- and would keep the remaining 10 percent herself.


"It is time to start doing things the right way, if there is an idea for how to generate income and improve the economy and people's well-being, why not do it?" she asked."

So much for solar energy, I guess its time to harness wind power!! :troll:

Can I sue her for causing skin cancer?

the Spanish government sent her! time to collect more taxes

wtf...she better be enjoying that sun from the kitchen.

this is newsworthy how?

seriously, someone shoud sue her then. it will be epic

Only in America
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

So who's going to be the first to sue her for skin cancer? and what if I don't want to use it.

Let the lawsuits start flying.

LOL, that's money!

is that even legal? I'm pretty sure you have to occupy a space in conjunction to claiming it as your own property. Good luck on that one..

Quick! someone claim mars before they start sending people there.

Someones already claimed it.

Wtf!? Really now people claiming mars, moon, now the sun?

Now that would be hella funny if someone were to sue her for skin cancer lol

Oh yeah?????

Well, maybe I should get my great grandfather to evict you, since he owns the Universe.

after ownership of the sun, i guess its possible to sue her, but not if you have skin cancer before her ownership

But she's selling a product that's harmful. It should be pulled off the shelves.
