I am saving my nickels!



GARDNERVILLE, Nev. (AP.org) -- On U.S. Highway 395, which cuts straight through this little town, Dennis Hope sells undeveloped land for the bargain price of $19.99 an acre. There are spacious lots near grand locales: The Sea of Tranquility. The Sea of Serenity.

Not a neighbor in sight, all the way to the horizon.

Granted, there is no air and no water. The daytime high: 225 degrees. The nighttime low: minus-245 degrees.

Behold the moon, Hope's real estate boon. Millions have already purchased prime parcels. They have nicely framed certificates to prove it.

The moon seller is a former actor, ventriloquist, purveyor of mobile homes and one-time deli counter worker. By his estimate, he sampled 96 occupations before opening his company, Lunar Embassy.

I wonder if the plot of land has a good view of Uranus.

Isn't 19.95 a bit much for a gag gift.

You think the goverment will ask your permition before landing on your land? Aren't there more than one company selling the same land?

I actually bought an acre for my GF once. I discovered the fine print "Novelty" after receiving it.
