Is it just me who had to read this headline twice?

I didn't realise they were selling them off?

I promised my wife the world before I married her. Now you tell me I could have bought her some rocks bigger than the diamond she got?

Sounds like a lot of ionised hydrogen...

I read it as Jon was ripped off and Jon sold the system for double the price.
But that isn't the story.

I saw that headline and was slightly confused and then amused. Glad to see someone else also saw the funny side and posted.

Astronomical indeed. Plus a block of flats , plus Tasmania. Cheap at twice the price.

Something is clouding your judgement.

This is so far-fetched as to be trans-Neptunian...

Well, I love how we're all tiptoeing around the obvious planet joke in this one.
Because if he sold it for double the price, then someone ended up paying through their planitos....
