Earth Goin' Round the What Now?

Yeah, so it turns out that close to 1 in 5 Americans, at least according to one poll, believe that the sun revolves around the Earth. (skip long first paragraph. picked up from political blogger Matthew Yglesias.)

I hope, I hope that some of that is poll-response sarcasm, but . . . well.

I'd like to see some other astronomical follow-up questions, like whether Earth is a planet, or whether you can see any of the stars from the South Pole, or how many moons we have. I'll bet you could get some pretty interesting responses.
