Still thinking about stars because of the Perseid Meteor Shower this coming weekend.
You've probably heard the commercials.... I know I have, on late night radio. For only something like 35 dollars, you can have your name in the Star Registry on file with the Library of Congress and a star will be named after you.
Well, I was skeptical, and went to The Straight Dope to see if this was malarkey, and it sure is.
You pretty much can copyright anything with the Library of Congress, it doesn't mean they endorse it.
If you can believe the Star Registry web site, they've been doing this since 1979. I predict they will never run out of stars.
