Poll: How much?

[Zombie_Fish]

This may sound stupid but it's with good reason. You see, a man has declared official claim over ownership of the moon and is selling it off acre by acre at a rate of £10 per acre:

The trick behind this was that he found a loophole in the document about the american and russian race to the moon. The document said that "no single country was to claim ownership over the moon". The key words are no single country. Doesn't say anything about a single person. So this guy claimed ownership of it and is now selling it which begs to ask the question, how much would you buy the moon for?

Oh, and if you're wondering what the point of buying the moon is, it means that NASA and any other space projects need to get permission from you before doing lunar experiments/ explorations/ whatever on it (And you get a deed claiming ownership of it).

Feel free to post your comments on this whole moon buying thing as well, by the way.

I hate to say this, but in the event that a major world power wants to build something on the moon, they aren't going to give two s***s, much less one, about your claim. It's an old treaty between the US and Russia, not a binding law that anyone has to obey.

I don't plan to live there...

So 50p.

I guess there wouldn't be much demand for an acre on the moon, so realisticly it would be a bit on the cheaper side. However, there are people out there who collects and own stranger things, so I wouldn't be surprised if one man bought the entire damned thing.

I don't have much interest in it, though. I doubt I'll ever have the chance to inspect my property up there anyway.

 

[SmilingKitsune]

If anyone actually buys an acre of the moon from this guy, well they're clearly lacking in common sense.

 

[xChevelle24]

I would pay about $5,000, only to hire a hitman and take this guy out, then turn the deed back over to the U.S.

 

[Joselyn]

I'd buy some of the moon for £50 or more if I could live there, but since that's not an option as of yet, I guess I'd pay £10-20...just so I could say that I owned some of the moon

 

[Undeed]

If he's only charging that much and there's anything even remotley legally binding I would probably buy about 10 acres. It might come in handy, and having claim to the moon is no small boast.

Well, I hereby claim Mars in the name of super smash jesus. Any use of the lands here in must now be approved by me, and may be subject to a small fee. In reading this you you recognize my authority over said land, and waive any future rights for your own entrepreneurial endeavors involving space real estate.

I said it once, and I will say it again, there is no benefit to building on the moon, so why would you? As for paying for an acre of moon, enjoy wasting your money, you would be better off just taking a 100 dollar bill out of your pocket, wiping your ass, then lighting it on fire. Do this as many times necessary until you feel you have wasted enough of your money.

 

[Lord George]

I have now claimed Mars in my name.

Edit

Damn you, alright I'll claim ownership of Earth and Uranus then.

 

[traceur_]

That's bullshit, no one could possibly just say "haha, mine bitches" and sell the fucking thing.

 

[Nihilism Theory]

[Nmil-ek]

Dibs on the sun and hate to break it to you, but you all owe me alooooot of money for the energy your bodys use.

And I claim the Sun. everybody owes me.

That's right!

EDIT: Well since we're claiming things, I hereby claim the entire universe with everything in it, including everyone who reads this. Now start working on my gigantic statue, and make sure it's bigger than Bender's!

I really agree with Jeffries statement...though this sounds like an urban legend to me.

Didn't the Toast King have a landlord for his apartment building?
Therefore, doesn't the landlord have a small chunk of the Moon and the Toast King the rest?

Seriously though, this is ridiculous, it's like buying the Deep Sea or Mars.

 

[Grimm91]

I would have no reason to buy any part of the moon unless I had the money to build a hidden lair there but if I had that kind of money it would not matter how much it costs.

It would work if we had a certain system in place. And who wouldn't want to buy the moon? then you could paint giant ass cheeks on there, so the moon is essentially 'moon'ing everyone. I have to do that now, its too godd an idea to let die.

 

[Sanaj]

However, for your idea then Lullabye the dark side of the moon would be completely useless.

To me selling acres of the moon just seems to be another way for gullible people to waste their money.

Or, it's an illustration of the kinds of things eccentric people buy.

I'm pretty sure Frank Sinatra already has claim to the moon. =P

 

[ace_of_something]

This is botarded. I see nothing legally binding. If I'm going to pay for part of the moon I want it to be the spot that the lunar lander is still sitting on. At least that would be worth something.
