I asked him to quote what international law he is using to claim this. Let's see what he answers. Smile

Those asteroids look suprisingly similar to mookie sticks on black velvet

The emails continue. Anyone have any intel on this "Law" he is refering to?

Nonono... I mean...

Please specify which Law you are refering to. I need the lookup code and exact law text please. If you are certain that this is legal, then I'm sure you have this information handy.

Hi lance_lake,

Thanks for your interest, I own Asteroid 4179 Toutatis because i claimed it in 1996 under the international law Terra Nullius. This law or more aptly "system" was how the British claimed Australia. it has been used here on Earth as late as the 1970's. Now simply put, if you claim land or property that has no claim or ownership on it then it is yours without question. Now the only way my claim on Asteroid 4179 Toutatis can be nullified is if someone were to land on the asteroid and claim it as theirs.

Cheers,

godman777.

Question from eBay Member: Asteroid 4179 Toutatis for sale! (Item # 5507864183)

Dear godman777,

Can you specify what law in international law you are using to lay such a claim? I mean, what law EXACTLY.

To view the item, go to: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5507864183

Thank you,

See, here is where you all have made me a little paranoid about every little thing out there on the internet.

Could this be the rabbit hole for the new joint "train the PM" ARG???
If I recall, wasn't there discussion about making it an "outerspace" colony or something?

lol......cool

I actually found the site by taking a look at domainspinner after viewing that profile, but assumed that because it seemed informational rather than in-play, that it was already known.

...and I still can't see the letters either.....must be a "spatial thing".
