...turns out my mudder-in-law bought us, ready for this?...<br /><br />-A star<br /><br />Yep, that's right. A celestial ball of gas 200 billion lightyears from Earth.<br /><br />One in Ursla Major to be more precise. Got a certificate with a gold foil seal of authenticity and everything. Plus a deed and directions.<br /><br /><br />-so I ask my wife, "What do you think the property taxes are gonna be on that thing?"<br /><br /><br />Tomorrow I'm gonna call NASA and tell them to get all of their junk outta my yard.<br /><br />spots

I hear those star things are real hot during the summer. <br /> You better hope I don't move in next door. If I have to clean up and maintain your star I will be able to take it from you and keep it in a couple years. <br />Also be aware that stars burn up gas like it is going out of style so be sure to turn off your star off when not in use. Every night I see millions of people who do not follow this rule and they are the first ones to b!tch when heating gas prices go up.

Talk about a company that creates a need then fills it. In other words, they are charging money for nothing more than "swamp gas".

The current inhabitants of your star, from the planet Zork, aren't going to like it when you show up and start enforcing the HOA rules.<br /><br />They like their IGSLR's (Intergallactic Star Low Riders) laying around the yard.<br /><br />Have you programmed the directions into your GPS?

Sorry spots, I know a couple of airheads that have been inhabiting that celestial space for years now. I think the laws of emminent domain have taken effect, making your deed worthless.

Funny you posted about this. A couple weeks ago on the news they were talking about some organization that was selling acreage on the moon; they had done a virtual survey of the surface, divi’d it up and were sell it off. China got pissed, some gov’ts are cancelling the deeds people bought. I think it’s because China has been busting butt to get on the moon, she might be looking to stake some kind of a legal claim on it.<br /><br />Fwiw, the moon is seen as an important military asset. Might be why Shrub suddenly wants us back there, too.

CN,<br />Now make sure ya update your will, I'd hate to see your kin folks have to sell that baby to get through probate. Or worse yet start an all out family feud over your newly acquired celestial Bling-Bling!<br />

I can't wait to see the looks on the title insurance companies faces when you ask to buy title insurance.

You better hurry and get liability insurance for your new property. Someone might hurt themselves and sue.

A friend of mine and his family "bought" a star to be named after his dad, who was terminaly ill with lung cancer. I thought it was a neat sort of comemoration and don't find it to be all that silly as many of you seem to have implied.
