Still Waters Posted June 3, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2012 In January, a Quebec man named Sylvio Langvein walked into a courthouse in Canada and filed a suit declaring himself owner of the planets in our solar system, four of Jupiter’s moons, and the interplanetary space between.By way of explanation, Langvein said he wanted to collect planets the same way that others collect hockey cards, and also prevent China from establishing outposts above his head. The judge overseeing the case, Alain Michaud, dismissed it in March, calling Langvein a “quarrelsome litigant” whose paranoid actions were an abuse of the Canadian legal system. (This was Langvein’s 45th lawsuit — including four motions to the Supreme Court of Canada — since 2001). The case is bizarre, but not unprecedented. http://www.wired.com...06/space-cases/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRIPTIC CHAMELEON Posted June 4, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 4, 2012 If you do own the sun princess tumbleweed then be ready for hundreds of legal actions especially sunburn compensation claims etc etc. Wow could you imagine the amount of nut jobs that would come out of the wood work for the payouts.
