Dumb-Ass of the Day

Woman Claims Ownership of the Sun

Ladies and gentlemen, it may have taken billions of years, but we now know who the sun's owner is. Angeles Duran, a 49 year-old Spanish woman, registered the big star at a local notary public last week. Duran claims there is an international agreement which states that no country may claim ownership of a planet or star, but it says nothing about individuals. States Duran: "There was no snag. I backed my claim legally. I am not stupid, I know the law." Duran wants to charge a fee to everyone using, ahem, her sun. Dayum.....lifeguards are screwed.
