LUNAR SPACE FOR SALE

It’s crazy, but true - a website (www.moonshop.com) that sells property in lunar space and claims to be the only recognized world authority for doing so. An acre parcel costs US$19.99 plus US$1.51 lunar tax (no joke!) and US$ 10.00 of shipping and handling costs. In return, buyers receive proof of the purchase as well as a lunar constitution bill of rights, a lunar deed and a lunar site map.
Adapted from Speak up - Ano XIV - nº 178
