Spanish woman claims ownership of the Sun

[Boscotheclown]

I claim ownership of the spice.

I claim ownership of the old spice guy. Everybody knows that he is 4x as good as Chuck Norris.

This thread needs to die already :fp

She already knows the man who owns the moon, they just need to cooperate.

Shouldn't the man who owns the moon have to pay royalties?

 

[splinteh]

OMG! So who's gonna claim the universe?

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

I own the thoughts in your mind.
I own the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th dimensions.

And because there are several theories about what caused the big bang (colliding membranes, strings etc) I own all possibilities.

I own physics, so you owe me.

I own physics, so you owe me.

You own the study of something, so you own that something? I don't think so.

Well I own a delicious strawberry pastry. Not anymore :rolleyes:

Exactly what I was thinking. I got severely burnt by her sun yesterday. I WANT COMPENSATION!

If she wants to avoid future lawsuits, then she'll have to put a warning on the sun that it can cause burns.

Also, if this was actually done legally, then under what jurisdiction? If this was actually done legally, as is claimed, then legal claims like this can be made in that jurisdiction right? Can we convince any of her neighbors in the same town to sue her for sunburns?

So what are you saying I have to spend money to block out the sun and spend money to get the privilege of using the sun? That's absurd. The sun is now her responsibility therefore any damage it causes is solely her responsibility. Just like if she left her car parked without the handbrake on and it rolled into my car she would be responsible.

Does that mean you can sue the water company if your kid drowned in the bathtub?

no but you can sue the water company if a giant water tower explodes on your house and your kid drowns then

I don't believe this is the same thing. With Dene's case a needed utility, in this case the sun, can be used in a normal amount and there would still be injuries caused by it. In the case of drowning in a bathtub water is misused, as it is not intended to be breathed in. The sun is intended to be shined upon everyone who uses it.

I claim superstrings and time. I only need to set a fee appart to Phoenix Death since he claimed all dimensions on which strings execute their movements..

Yeah, I've been thinking about this from a purely practical point of view and wondering if ownership without backing of a government is really worth anything. For example, the land I own, if I have any disputes on it and people are trespassing (according to the laws of the government), then the police (government) helps gets those people off.

If I were to try and attack people who weren't trepassing (according to the government) but trespassing according to my own weird "law", then the government is not going to back me up and I'll be in trouble. And even though it's my land, I still must follow the laws of the US government.

Woohoo!
