I keep asking myself: Why do I work for a living?


A sign outside denotes this as the "Lunar Embassy."

"They ask if it is a real estate office," owner Dennis Hope says. "It is. It is just not for properties on Earth."

Hope, 55, is the celestial executive officer and self-described "head cheese" of the Lunar Embassy.

He has claimed ownership of the moon and all planets other than Earth since 1980.

Ok has anyone tried to sell blocks of "space" yet?

Can you say pet rock? This is one of those ideas that is so dumb it actually worked. Of course just anyone anyone could sue this guy and get a piece of that money...
 
I have a cube of empty space I'm willing to sell cheap, but I want to retain the mineral rights.
