$59.99

Is that how cheap nobility comes today? I would've guessed at least $100.

$59.99 for a square foot? hmmm......I wonder how far down I could drill? I wonder how high up I can build? I'm thinking a square foot space might be enough for me to build an elevator to space......

I thought that if you are a US citizen, you could not legally have any titles like that.

And why is white-tailed deer in an ad for Scotland?

Just goes to show you that anyone will try anything to make a buck.

Because it was completely unintentional.

HEh
I was wondering when someone would find out about that. For my grandfather's birthday my dad bought him a lord title.

Tis pretty funny

Also, any American can have a title, it's just that the US government can't issue titles of nobility. So, for instance, you could be the Duke of York and live in Connecticut, but there's no such thing as, say, the Baron of Los Angeles. That would just be stupid. And against the law.

So you pay 59.99$ for the title "Land Owner", great!

Not just any land owner, a land owner of Scottish Lochaber!

Our Founding Fathers wrote:No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State.

One it is not restricted to normal US citizen, but say a Judge, Military Officer, Clerk, and many others would not be able to do this unless the company has cleared this through the US Congress. So if you are a employee of the government i would stay away.

And actually the process has been expedited see following, i have not validated the pages for accuracy.

"Land of the free", eh? You're not even allowed to be a Lord if you want to.

You can be a lord if you want to, it will just cost you...

I've always thought that was a typo for "land of the fee" .

Not if you work for the gubmint.
