"I OWN THE SUN!!"

It might not end space real estate sales though. The courts could say that the sun is a natural energy source and thereby protected from individual ownership, which would leave the moon and other celestial bodies open to property ownership still. Or someone else could lay claim to the sun. For example, descendants of the Aztecs, or any sect of Middle Eastern religion that still worships Ra, the Sun God.

I hope the courts don't decide to be such asses that they take one of those routes out.

Ra? My Uncle Ra? I've been "like this" (holds crossed fingers up) with my Uncle Ra for YEARS, dude. They owe me...er, us, big time!!

/holds out hand for payment

I'm not paying him to use the Sun. His Sun is broadcasting in the clear all over my property, if he couldn't even be bothered to to encrypt the Sun then I'm doing nothing wrong by using what he broadcasts. Don't try to argue that I'm violating the DMCA or some other silly law, he should have encrypted the Sun if he didn't want us all to use it.

Now if he did figure out a way to make us subscribe by encrypting the Sun some how, I still wouldn't pay. First of all the uptime is terrible, it goes out every single day and when it's cloudy or rainy the coverage is terrible. Instead of suing people he should put his money towards improving service by increasing uptime, I mean it only works dawn to dusk, what's up with that?

HAHAHAHA

Too bad TheOnion.Com doesn't take freelance stuff, you could submit an expanded version of that.
