Orbdev Files US Federal Suit Over Asteroid Claim

chongo writes "Orbital Development has filed legal action against the United States by filing a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment in Federal Court. After NASA's NEAR probe landed on the asteroid 433 Eros, Gregory W. Nemitz, who claims to have owned the asteroid since the 3rd of March 2000, sent NASA an $20 invoice for the first 100 years of parking and storage fees. NASA told him to "pound sand". OrbDev's Eros Project seeks to promote their ludicrous ideas about property rights in space."

Anti-zionism != anti-semitism.

Anyway, we should go for the christians first, then the muslims, and do the jews last, so they get to sweat for longer .....

I have this problem. I have a crush on a 14 year old girl and I'm 22. She's really cool and stuff but I know she's too young. What should I do? (I know her because I play D&D with her dad so I see her regularly.)

Re:hey guys

[Anonymous Coward]

Invite her to play a game of D&D with you. She can be a cat girl who gets into trouble and wears skimpy leather outfits. You play a big, well-endowned orc guard and do something kinky, like tie her up in a dungeon and shove your thick orc cock in her ass while pinching her titties. That should get her just aroused enough to jump in bed with you.

Re:hey guys

[Anonymous Coward]

tell him it's because you're American.
also add you do not suck because jews might consider it as antisemitic.

Re:hey guys

[Horny Smurf]

Since this is slashdot, I'm assuming you're a guy. Gays don't like fat people. Cowboy neal is a good example. Sure, CmdrTaco will let him suck his cock, but you know Malda doesn't respect him.

Lose the weight (go to the gym. lots of sweaty guys with big muscles).

If you are a girl, my apologies. your boyfriend is an asshole. Maybe we could go do something some time? Also, tell him you gained weight because you're pregnant. that usually freaks guys out :)

No - SIASL was correct

[quinkin]

The main character (Valentine Michael Smith) was the sole survivor of the first mars expedition and the first human to be born and raised (by martians) on the surface of mars.

Valentine ends up the sole inheritor of his mother's space-drive engine and the surface of the martian world (due to squatters rights IIRC - IANAL).

A large part of the book is about the governments attempts to take possession of these assets... hence the original poster was correct in his analysis.

Not to say that "The man who sold the moon" is not also applicable in this context, only that it does not preclude SIASL.

Can you "grock" it??

Q.

I reject this claim....

[thrill12]

As legal inhabitant of the planet Quak-Quak, in the system of Ungu-Chacha, I reject the claim to celestial body Bu-Ne-Shaf ('eros') based on the following:
- we were here long before you puny humans, (spitting sound)
- we can actually build something on Bu-Ne-Shaf, instead of just parking junk on it
- we govern 80% of the known galaxy, so why not this?
and last but not least:
- we have bigger lasers than you !

So before you go on taking Bu-Ne-Shaf or any other celestial body as your property, I urge you to first check on the Alpha-Centauri planning office, where our rights to this and all properties are clearly written down.

The greased up Yoda Dolls have read your anti-slash. We hold you in high regard.
There is a foul travestry being carried out here. This place has no journalism, is a reflector of other people work with IMMENSE arrogance.
This fucking crap from OSnews and Eugenia Vaginia Loli is so bad, you'd think Slashdot would have a better editor than Eugenia, but that's not the case. She at least, however wrong, writes her own material from time to time. This place has no original content but the trolls and the increasingly rare intelligent poster.
May the Jihad go forward!

- Greased Yoda!
9 steps to greasing your anus for Yoda Doll Insertion!

1. Defecate. preferably after eating senna, ex lax, prunes, cabbage and hot sauces.
2. Wipe ass with witch hazel, soothes horrific burns.
3. Prime anus with anal ease.
4. Slather richly a considerable amount of vaseline or other anal lubricants into your rectum at least until the bend and also take your yoda doll or yoda soap on a rope and liberally apply it.
5. Pucker your ballon knot several times actuating the sphincter muscle in order to work it in.
6. Put a nigger do-rag on yoda's head so the ears don't stick out like daggers!
7. Make sure to have a mechanism by which to fish yoda out of your rectum, the soap on the rope is especially useful because that is built in.
8. Slowly rest yourself onto your yoda figurine.
9. Gyrate gleefully in your computer chair while your fat sexless geek nerd loser fat shit self enjoys the prostate massage you'll be getting. Read slashdot. Masturbate to anime. Email one of the editors hoping they will honor you with a reply. Join several more dating services - this time, you dont check the (desired - speaks english) and (desired - literate). You figure you might get a chance then. Order some fucking crap from Think Geek. Get Linux to boot on a Black And Decker Appliance. Wish you could afford a new computer. Argue that IDE is better than SCSI because you cant afford SCSI. Make claims about how Linux rules. Compile a kernel on your 486SX. Claim to hate windows but use it for Everquest. Admire Ghyslain's courage in making that wonderful star wars movie. Officially convert to the Jedi religion. Talk about how cool Mega Tokyo is. Try and make sure you do your regular 50 story submissions to Slashdot, all of which get rejected because people who arent fatter than CowboyNeal can't submit. Fondle shrimpy penis while making a yoda voice and saying, feel the force, padawan, feeel the foooorce, hurgm. Yes. Yes. When 900 years you reach, a dick half as big you will not have.

All in a days work with a yoda figurine rammed up your ass.

Gramatical rules for quotation marks can be found here.

I'd expect the quotation marks around "Pound sand" come under the rule "Use quotation marks to indicate words used ironically, with reservations, or in some unusual way."
