Ookkkey now someone owns Mars:lol:

[Fineus]

Is that for real?

If so - ****ing idiots - if anyone actually takes it seriously and follows through all the court orders and such it could set back space exploration by some large amount. God knows it's taken us long enough to start exploring Mars properly before a few tits try and claim ownership over it.
Oh well... back to having petty little wars on Earth for the human race then.

I seriously doubt some peoples mental health...

Bush should just say "Yes, we found some of his blood-relatives on Mars and we had Spirit destroy them with it's cold-fusion laser-cannons. We claim Mars in the name of the United States."

[StratComm]

Well the Spanish had claim to all of the Americas, but that did not stop the English or French from colonizing it.  They are just trying to get publicity, and no judge in their right mind would let that get to trial.

A US judge would.

Remember that guy who claimed the moon as his and started selling off mineral rights? I think he got ownership of it since there was a treaty saying no country could own the moon or any part of it. He said that since he wasn't a country there was nothing to stop him saying it was his.

Depends how much George Senior leans on the High Court

LOL I think this is a wonderful example of American civil law showing the rest of the world how to shoot itself in the foot.

stupid, stupid, stupid...

Hey, I wonder about those bits of the moon that were sold off.

If Bushy boy wants to build a base on there, what if the planned base lies on someone else's land? That would be hilarious.

[LtNarol]

What happened to natural selection?  We really need to stop protecting stupidity.

On the subject of which, a fellow at work was getting in to his car, sneezed and banged his head on the car door, giving him a concussion. If he'd have died, I'd have submitted it as a Darwin award

Operation:  Moon Freedom

I'd be more interested if the Klangers mounted a furious counter-invasion

Bush would meet his match there.

Heheh... Well, while were at it. I state my claim to the Galaxy of Andromeda and all its stars and planets, within. Plus I lay claim to our Sun, and I will sue everyone going outside and sunbathing who deosent pay my solar tax of 10$ an hour....
