Buy a plot on the Moon!!

Lunar Embassy (lunarembassy.com)
"Every day hundreds of people fork over about $30 for 1-acre slices of the Moon and Mars. (Prices are going up: For roughly the same amount, prior to 2001, you could get 17,700 acres.) The cost includes shipping and handling of a deed, a map, and the lunar or Martian "Constitution and Bill of Rights," all printed on simulated parchment...

"...Lunar Embassy employs the word "novel" to describe its products. The word was suggest by lawyers 24 years ago, according to the FAQ, to 'help avoid any frivolous lawsuits from a foreign country.'
"(The words "novel" and "novelty" are employed by star-naming businesses as a way to avoid the impression that their sales involve official products.)"
My take: I've spent more than $30 in my life and gotton much less than a few novelty, suitable for framing, documents on simulated parchment. The perfect gift for someone who is hard to buy for.
