It seems I'm always happening across extraterrestrial "unreal-estate" scams like this one.

Lunar kingdom - or lunacy?

"Dennis Hope, a Nevada-based entrepreneur who sells lunar property through his company, the Lunar Embassy, claims to own the entire moon and eight other celestial bodies in the solar system. He says he has sold 410 million acres on the moon and properties on Mars, Venus and one of the moons of Jupiter to nearly 2.5 million people."





Doesn't this guy keep up with cosmology? If he did, he'd know that we live in an infintesimal branch within an unthinkably vast quantum multiverse. Why sell bits and pieces of planets and moons when he could sell entire universes? Granted, you can never actually visit, but . . .
