Buy the Moon!
November 28, 2006
For those of you who really want to go "out of this world" and can't be bothered with something mundane like adopting a lemur, there's always lunar real estate.
Lunar real estate?" you ask. "Wasn't that already bought up by the owners of Google and Donald Trump?" Well, fortunately I'm breaking the lunar real estate story early enough so that you can get in on the ground floor.
Moon Shop, coincidentally found at MoonShop.com, is offering one acre parcels of land on the moon for only $19.95. Well, plus $1.51 lunar tax. Of course, this begs the question: Who is collecting this lunar tax? A check of the current lunar map (at right) should answer this quickly enough: aliens who have already begun colonizing the moon as a forward base for destruction of the Earth via laser-beam-controlled hurricanes are obviously collecting taxes from their neighbors.
I'm sure you've already visited MoonShop.com to check it all out, but in the unlikely event that you have stuck with me this long I'll summarize some of the more interesting points you'll find on the site:
1. This is not a joke
2. This is the cheapest real estate in the universe
3. Other companies selling lunar property are doing so without authority, soliciting your money for unauthorized products.
4. This is no joke.
5. You can't buy land on the other side of the moon.
6. "We have plans to move to the Moon soon."
7. This is probably not a joke.
Good luck!
