"Eat and support" means that a person is energetic, so he likes to find things to do, and uses his strength in places where he should not be used, this joke originated in the Republic of China period, and is related to Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
There is a saying in China that "when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds", and with a large population on the planet, there will always be people who will do something that confuses others. Angelas Duran, a Spanish woman who lives in Galicia, on the Portuguese border in northwestern Spain, is famous for applying for a patent for the sun and collecting royalties from humans.
This is because the Outer Space Treaty established by the United Nations in 1967 only stipulates that no country may claim to own any planet or star, but it does not mention individuals. In the 80s of the 20th century, Dennis Hope, a Californian businessman in the United States, filed a declaration of ownership with the local courts, the United States, the former Soviet Union, and the United Nations.
Dennis Hope claimed that the Moon, the eight planets of the solar system except the Earth and their moons belonged to him, and then an English couple obtained authorization from Dennis Hoppe to make the "Moon Estate" bigger, which sounds rather absurd, but it really happened.
It is understood that their annual profit is 1 million pounds (equivalent to 11.23 million yuan), many Hollywood stars, former US presidents and others are their customers, and the 40th anniversary of the Apollo spacecraft landing on the moon has made them even more profitable.
In September 2005, someone opened the "Moon Embassy" company in Beijing, on the mainland, claiming to be Dennis Hope's Chinese agent, officially "selling" lunar land in China for 298 yuan per acre, but the company was soon shut down on suspicion of speculation.
Some netizens commented on this: This is the same as someone selling American land and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which is purely deceptive.
However, Angelas Duran applied for a patent for the sun because of this, and Angelas Duran also succeeded in obtaining a "sun patent", requiring all users of the sun to pay her, a condition that is obviously more ridiculous than "moon property", but Angelas Duran does not think so, she thinks that she can also make a lot of money from the "sun".
Angelas Durán declared that half of the cost would go to the Spanish government, 20% for the retirement of the Spanish elderly, 10% for research, 10% for global famine, and the last 10% for herself.
As we all know, the sun appeared much earlier than humans, and the sun is sacred everywhere, and there are myths and legends of the sun god in many places, and since ancient times, the sun has never belonged to anything on earth, and it is naturally impossible for people to pay Angelas Durán anything, but to take what she did as a joke.
Angelas Durán was annoyed and angry, seeing that the plan did not go smoothly, so she sued the United Nations, but then she got into a lawsuit for this, former US Vice President Al Gore committed to the issue of global warming, so he sued Angelas Duran in court, Al Gore said: "In the past, the sun had no owner, so it was impossible to hold the sun accountable, but now that the sun has a master, then it is time to raise this responsibility issue." ”
Angelas Durán originally wanted to refute that "global warming" is the responsibility of human beings, but in the end she could not refute El Gore's accusation, and El Gore said at a press conference that he was considering whether to add the Spanish government as a defendant, because half of Angelas Duran's profits were given to the Spanish government.
It is said that Angelas Durán finally gave up the case, but because of this incident made her famous, some companies hired her as a legal consultant, but the author believes that this is just Angelas Durán's own words, to engage in the legal profession must first have relevant documents, and abide by the relevant ethical issues, opportunism is always worrying
