Sun God
A Spanish woman says she now owns the Sun after she filed papers with lawyers at her home at Vigo Galicia in Spain.
Angela Duran, 41, said: "International law forbids anyone to claim a planet, but nobody ever said anything about stars and the Sun is a star.
"I checked and found that, despite all the people buying stars, no one had purchased the Sun in our solar system and, as it was free, I decided to take it.
"My lawyer laughed when I filed my claim but he checked with the officials that register such things and discovered it was possible.
"I now have a certificate that says I am the owner of the Sun, described as 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 miles ...'."
"I am trying to have it recognised internationally. Then I plan to make a tax for solar power users."
She added: "I will use 50 per cent for a Sun state budget, 20 per cent for solar pensioners, another 20 per cent for research and health and 10 per cent to end hunger on earth."

So anyone who has ever gotten ill from harmful UV rays or skin cancer can sue this lady for pretty much anything they want. And what about global warming? so now that she ownes the sun we can all have a place to put the blame on everything harmful that comes from the sun.

I own the sun. All the scientific world knows the sun is 93,000,000 miles from the earth, on average. Ms. Duran owns another star, which may look like the sun, but by her own admission, is 149,600,000 miles from the earth, and is therefore NOT the sun.

That and what about all the harmful UV rays that cause sun burns and cancer from over exposure to her so called star? how about the hundred of people who die of heat stroke. this is like Russia claiming to own Chernobyl's explosion and all the radiation sickness and death it created. Go F*** yourself lady

Fantastic! Then I guess she assumes responsibility for the sun then. So when the next CME strikes our magnetosphere and renderes all of humanity's electrical systems kaput I will know EXACTLY where to send my lawyers and what to charge her with. How does one formulate a prosecution case for the starvation of miliions of people and destruction of our modern civilisation? Owning the sun will turn out to be a much larger liability than this women could ever possibly imagine. Ludicrous.
