Own a piece of the moon, really!!

You would be aware that it is Bush's initiative to make space tourism happen in the near future. But long before all this, a clever businessman, whose name I eventually forgot, got a brilliant idea. He envisioned that people be paying jolly trips to the moon in future. So he worked out a plan. First thing he did was to setup a panel of attorneys to study international laws on the ownership of planets. Surprisingly, there are rules like no country owns any planet in anyway, but no rule saying that an individual can not own a planet. Then he claimed that he owns all the planets in our Solar System and asked to respond if any one should have any objections regarding this.

Little aware about his plans, every country, businessmen overlooked his statements and there was not even a single petition against his claim. Then he officially became the owner of the planets with all the registration papers etc. So he established a company, which conducted aerial suveys on the moon kilometer-by-kilometer. He divided moon into flats and started selling them at dirt cheap price. Reportedly celebrities like Arnold, Tom Cruise were there among his long list of customers. Even you can also own a flat. I think the company's name is 'The Lunar Republic'. It has operations in India also, through which they are offering a moon flat for just Rs. 2,500.

I've recollected this news which I learnt quite long ago, after watching this article
