I don't know which is dumber. The people who wrote laws in regards to "owning planets/stars/other heavenly bodies" without having any ideas of loopholes, or the woman for dedicating time into finding loopholes.
Either way it must be applauded in the only way I know.
The Sun isn't always at the center of the solar system when the solar system is defined by its gravitational center; the only "center" that really makes sense in space.
So this woman owns nothing, as she define the Sun as a G2 star at the center of the solar system. Well, that, or she only owns the sun when it is at the center of our solar system.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
I met a man once who insisted that you could buy a state; or anything owned by the government, for that matter, by mailing them a check for any amount you wanted and naming the thing you wanted in the "For:" field. That if they cashed the check that indicated acceptance of a legal sales agreement.
So, for example, I write a check to the State of NH for $1 and write "the state house" in the memo field, if that check clears I now own the seat of state government and can start charging rent. Or stripping the gold off the dome, for that matter.

The biggest indicator someone is a loser is them complaining about 3d printers or piracy.
I have a friend who asked all of her facebook friends for 5 USD, and ended up getting something in the neighborhood of 13,000 USD from ~2000 friends(some people gave more than 5 USD).
She used the money to pay for incidental expenses when she went to graduate school in Egypt.

She's a total social climber who I probably wouldn't acknowledge if I hadn't known her since age 5. She goes out of her way to friend everyone she meets. If I recall correctly she has 3800 or so friends.

Yeah, everyone I know knows that I would totally spend an hour or two fabricating a story and history in order to foist a prank onto others that would get them to give me money, so I'm screwed as well.

Yeah, I've got one of those as well.
I troll the gak out of her self-aggrandizing FB posts though. She pays dearly for me being her 1497th friend.
I'm totally worth it though.

Hey, why not set up: "Monster Rain's Fund for Deprived Students"? Doesn't mean the money couldn't go towards a Thunderhawk.
