Best EBay Auction, ever? - Dark Jaguar - 5th October 2003
If that's the silliest thing you've ever seen you SICKEN me! (Um, unless you just recently had your sight restored after being blind since birth, in which case sorry...)
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Great Rumbler - 5th October 2003

Best EBay Auction, ever? - Weltall - 5th October 2003

Best EBay Auction, ever? - Darunia - 5th October 2003
Goddamit, its closed...what was it? It wasn't as good as when they were selling a real, life ghost in a bottle, was it? :D
Best EBay Auction, ever? - EdenMaster - 5th October 2003
Supposedly, it was one of Britney Spears' farts captured in a tupperware container.

What's a life ghost Darunia?

Last week Iraq was for sale but they stopped the auction because the owner had lost or broken it
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Great Rumbler - 5th October 2003
Too bad. I've always wanted to have my own country.

I remeber sombody tried to sell the moon once. But he couldnt claim ownership.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Private Hudson - 6th October 2003
That's because the moon is already legally owned by someone else.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - alien space marine - 6th October 2003
Neil Armstrong!
Technically the Moon is property of the U.S traditionaly the first person to plant a flag on unclaimed territory claims ownership.
So Who ever thinks they own the moon is a moronic ass hole if they are not from the U.S goverment.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Private Hudson - 6th October 2003
No. UN guidelines states that no one government or state body can own the moon. (or something like that.. it's very late and I can't quite function properly)
Unfortunately, there was a loophole in that the guidelines do NOT say that no one individual could claim the moon as their own. So this one guy claimed it. Wrote letters to the UN, the US Government and to all sorts of people claiming it.
Now he sells it for quite a lot of money. He was on Conan O'Brien one day, and gave Conan a free piece of the moon!
Best EBay Auction, ever? - alien space marine - 6th October 2003
I think that is really retarded.
Thats it I own Mars!
I am will start auctioning off martian land soon.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Great Rumbler - 6th October 2003
And I...will own Neptune!
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Dark Jaguar - 6th October 2003
Really stupid that is. Well, we'll see how much ownership the guy claims after a little MILITARY FORCE from someone who actually WILL own Luna!
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Great Rumbler - 6th October 2003
Sailor Moon?
Best EBay Auction, ever? - OB1 - 6th October 2003
That guy was on Conan once. He's sold moon property to the likes of Steven Spielberg and Bill Gates. It's insane.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Undertow - 6th October 2003
I'm going to buy enough moon land so I can make my own small nation and build my own army of hyper chipmunks that I will train there so I can dominate the galaxy.

Been there, done that.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Dark Jaguar - 6th October 2003
Nah nah, Luna is our moon's actual name.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - OB1 - 6th October 2003
You're a dork.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Dark Jaguar - 6th October 2003
And Sol is our sun's actual name. Of course, neither are used very often since people don't really need to specify that it's EARTH'S sun they are talking about in normal conversations.

I humbly accept your apology.

True, also that's why we call our little collection of planets around the sun the SOLar system.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Laser Link - 6th October 2003
Really? I knew Sol was Spanish for sun, but I did not know the rest.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Dark Jaguar - 6th October 2003
Yeppers, and so now you can be a total nerd and be VERY annoying when correcting anyone who calls another star system (planet system, either or...) a solar system that technically only OUR system revolving around Sol is the solar system. And Fox McCloud lives in the Lylat system, orbiting... Solar... Okay so apparently the scientists of Corneria decided to be more original in naming systems than just using the star's name... But hey, only OUR scientists were creative enough to OFFICIALLY call our galaxy the "Milky Way". No way some cool name like Andromeda will fit us. We gotta be called a name that inspires TERROR in any alien forces trying to destroy our world and threaten our children, MILKY WAY!
(Oh, and on that same note only our moon has a "lunar landscape" or any other term that starts with "lunar". Then again, since most of the moons in our friendly neighborhood Solar System are very different from our's, it's kinda hard to label them all one type of landscape to begin with.
One final thing. Isn't it just the weirdest coincidence that our moon is 400 times smaller than the sun yet 400 times closer to us, so that it ends up being exactly the same size and being able to perfectly cover the sun during an eclipse? That's just good design right there.

Yah, and Sheriton and other major hotel chains have lots of land up there, too.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - A Black Falcon - 7th October 2003
Yeah, 'Sun' isn't a good name for the sun since that is a generic term, not a name... Sol means sun too, of course, but not in English (its from Latin, not Spanish, I believe (since they named all the planets after Roman gods...) (same with Luna, I think...)... though that's Spanish too...)

Wait, so my nickname is the same as my last name? Huh.

Best EBay Auction, ever? - Great Rumbler - 7th October 2003
Oh yeah?! Well, I own your house! And I'm going to forclose on the mortgage! Booyah!
Best EBay Auction, ever? - OB1 - 7th October 2003
My friend's younger brother sent a letter to the UN asking if he could own Alpha Centauri. They haven't replied yet.

Yeah...I know.

And I knew you knew.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - OB1 - 10th October 2003
I knew that both of you knew that I knew you knew about me knowing you knew.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Private Hudson - 10th October 2003
I didn't know that.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - OB1 - 10th October 2003
I knew you didn't.

I knew that you knew the he didn't know that you knew that both of us knew that you knew he knew about you knowing he knew.
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Private Hudson - 10th October 2003
But he didn't know I knew about him knowing that both of you knew about the fact that I knew that you two both knew about my knowing that you knew that he knew that I didn't know that he knew that both of you knew that he knew that I knew that he knew that I knew!
Best EBay Auction, ever? - Great Rumbler - 11th October 2003
However, I think I know he didn't know you knew about him knowing that both of us knew about the fact that you knew that is two both knew about you knowing that I knew that he knew that you didn't know that he knew that both of us knew that he knew that you knew that he knew that you knew!
