Hoax

I was just wondering was the current status of all this "buy land on the
moon" rubbish is. Amazon appear to be selling some, which worries me...

Is it still a hoax or is it legal now?

Just for a laugh, consider this:

1. Does the Moon have it's own laws?
Absolutely. Mr. Hope, whom we call the absolute and final omnipotent
ruler of the entire Lunar surface, or, The Head Cheese , for short,
has drafted and introduced a Lunar Constitution and Bill of Rights for
the Moon.

Tom

Back where the US landed men on the moon, there was a deal signed in the UN that
said No Nation can claim the moon as it's own. But what they didn't figure on
was some con man seeing the loophole that does NOT say a PERSON can't claim the
moon. That's what the guy did, he's sent papers to the major members of the UN
saying that HE OWNS the moon and now he's selling one ac sites of the moon.

Someday, some years down the road, it's going to make for some royal court
battles.

Just as long as they remember that I own the Andomeda Galaxy, they're ok.

Well, listen, I own all of space from beyond Geostationary Orbit to
the Moon. I'm only allowing NASA and pure scientific research
organisations to transit because of my good nature.
If anyone wants to go and actually put their claim on the Moon to the
test, they will have to pay me, or my descendants a toll.

No way! Someone asked what SAO stood for and I explained:

It stands for "Sold Astronomical Objects."

These are astronomical objects which have been sold through the
International Star Registry. Since the purchasers have an official
laser-printer certificate, and the names have been published in a book that
is registered with the library of Congress, these names are now official,
and must be used by astronomers. Of course, astronomers are jealous that
they didn't think of it first. Therefore astronomers have resisted using the
names. In a passive-aggressive move, they have refused to use the full
names, and are using only the numbers. The numbers were assigned in the
order of purchase. However congress is now drafting legislation that will
force astronomers to use the full names. This is only right, as these people
paid good money, and have official certificates.

Of course, as an officially published book, the names are protected by
International Copyright, thereby forcing the rest of the world to at least
use the numbers as well. And, as more copies of the book are registered with
governments around the world, eventually astronomers everywhere will have to
acknowledge the officialness of these names and use the full names and not
just the Sold Astronomical Objects numbers.

I seriously hope this is bull**** (or horse****). There is no way I
would ever be forced to use names in a paper when I get to writing any.

If it is that the people own the name of the star then it's not too bad.
It would just be rubbish to say that someone actually owns the star.

How low has the human race fallen... After spoiling earth with money,
it's moved on to space...

Actually, I own this universe and associated parallel universes and I
will soon introduce an IUT (Interstellar and interuniversal tax) so you
have been warned. And if you don't pay your rent I'll kick you out into
the interuniversal void.

If people are really buying pieces of the moon then who's with me for an
invasion of the moon? We need to remove the omnipotent dictator Hope...

I have just had a quick look on internet and the thing about selling
stars in actually only registering the name of the star, not buying the
star. Whereas for the moon thing, they are actually selling land on it...

You can certainly own any or all of the universe that you can successfully
hold and defend. However, all attempts in the past (Alexander the Great,
Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Adolph Hitler, etc.) have been pretty much
unsuccessful. You would need a LOT of money (not to mention technology) to
kick all of us dissenters into the "interuniversal void."

Of course this is serious. If you see it in print, it must be true!

(Besides, they have an official laser-printer certificates!)
