Pay a fee to use the sun...
« on: November 28, 2010, 10:07:35 PM »
A Spanish woman has now claimed "ownership" of the sun and wants to slap a fee on anyone who uses it.   :rotf:

That approach stopped working for Spaniards about three hundred years ago.

It gets too hot in Las Vegas in the summer.  It causes our electricity bill to skyrocket.  Do you think I have a case?
