You thought that at least some things in the universe are free. Like sunshine. But no more. A woman in Spain has registered as owner of the Sun and now wants everyone to pay for using it. She went to a notary office and registered as owner of the Sun, a star of spectral type G2, located in the centre of the solar system, located at an average distance from Earth of about 149,600,000 kilometers. It wasn't even her original idea. She did it after she read about a man who become the owner of all the planets and the Moon by doing just that. I wonder if she seriously expects anyone to care about her claim? Or if she is willing to pay for the damages? Wen it was ownerless we just suffered but now you can sue for the sunburn, drought and global warming (it's ultimately Sun's fault as it gives energy, we only made it stay longer)

If you thought about paying for Sun time maybe you'll also be interested in Dolphins & Teleportation Symposium in Hawaii. Because you just know that these two things are directly related. After all how one can explain dolphins' leaving Earth before it was destroyed by Vogons? No matter what this site claim I believe the dolphins are the experts. I'm however also so disappointed. I didn't know dolphins need money so badly to leave the organizing in hands of people who are unable to make a website that doesn't look like it was hosted by geocities or angelfire.

If that's too much stupidity at once here is an antidote because quarks are both more strange (and up, down, charm, top and bottom) and more awesome:

I just read that Leslie Nielsen has died from the complications from pneumonia at the age 84.

Once again it's something that could've been expected but is sad nonetheless. After being on our screens for so log he seemed eternal. From  Forbidden Planet through all Naked Guns to Frasier's dad he was great. I just wish that he had more chance to shine in serious films. I love the comedies but the spoofs got more and more shitty with time to the point where he was the only good thing about them. He worked to the last moment so we will see him on the screen once again.
