"Woman who claims she owns the Sun..."

"...sues Ebay after she was banned from selling Sun's plots on the site."
A Spanish court is set to hear the most unusual arguments ever after a woman who claims to own the sun sued eBay for blocking her extraterrestrial real estate sales. Though it sounds a little nuts, a court in Madrid has ruled that 54-year-old Maria Duran has the right to have her case heard.

The 54-year-old registered the star in her name at a notary office in Spain, before opening an eBay account selling square-metre plots for one euro each.
I think the court was right to give her a hearing...

If it wasn't over 50 years ago, Heinlein's estate ought to sue her for copyright violation.

That would be moon ownership and there is already a treaty saying no one can own that. Oh wait.
