Today’s posting was inspired by Belfast’s finest waiter,
Manuel, who wrote about noisy neighbours
here.
There's no doubt that noise complaints are a major cause of neighbourhood disputes.
Last year, for example, an Australian man was shot dead when he asked his neighbour to turn down his loud music.
I’m sure many of you can identify with the problem of neighbours from hell.
Well now there’s a solution!
For a mere $24 U.S. plus shipping (£12 ), you can receive the deed to an acre of land on the moon.
Dennis Hope of the
Lunar Embassy claims to have found a loophole in international law allowing him to claim full sovereignty of the moon.
Hope claims to be selling 1,500 lunar properties a day.
He allocates land by simply closing his eyes and pointing to a map of the Moon.
He’s already made a whopping 9 million dollars from sales (£4.5m).
So what’s in it for you, beloved Infomaniac readers?
Well, since sound doesn't travel on the moon, you'd never hear your noisy neighbours.
But you know what
that means...
In space, no one can hear you scream.
Can you hear me, Major Tom?Buy now.
You'd have to be a lunatic to pass up this opportunity.
