Recently a company in China got it’s business license pulled.
Why?
Harboring anti-Communist sentiments? Being overly friendly with the Catholic Church? Selling "Goddess of Liberty" statues at Tiananmen Square?
Nope.
Selling real estate on the moon.
No kidding!
At $37 dollars an acre.
But the company isn’t taking it lying down that it got its business license suspended.
It’s suing the authorities to get it back!
GET THE STORY.
Now, if you personally would like to buy some lunar real estate, don’t fret.
YOU CAN GET IT HERE
from the same company whose Beijing branch was just closed.

Hey, if people will buy The DaVinci Code, lunar real estate begins to look plausible.
Jimmy, what took you so long? I posted on this back on the 8th. [grin]
Where do you find these things! Does human acquisitiveness know no bounds?? I was just getting over the story of the stampede at Walmart the day after Thanksgiving and now this!
I think we just got definitive proof that Robert Heinlein, author of the Man Who Sold The Moon, is either in Heaven or in Purgatory… this is too clearly a practical joke contrived by the Man Upstairs to amuse ol’ Bob.
I kid, I kid.
It’s probably true. After all (from their FAQ):
“We have new property owners. His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI has recently been acknowledged as a property owner on the Moon.”
(P.S. I can’t find where to get a refund…)
I actually own Mars, since no one else had thought to officially claim it. If you’d like a piece, let me know! Prices are quite low near the poles and higher near the Canadian-tundra like equator.
I’ve also claimed Pluto, but suburbia hasn’t expanded quite that far as of yet.
Sah-Wheeet!!
HEY JIMMY DUDE
