I should point out that, contrary to what is implied in the cycling news article http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2005/sep05/sep23news3 the sun and planets do revolve around the earth, it just depends on your point of view. Interestingly, it seems that the exact same thing is true of the urinary EPO test -- its correctness also seems to depend on where you stand.

That was a tad general, but I think most people understood what was meant. C'mon, you must have done astronomy at school? Gravitation, parallax observations, retrograde motion, prediction of orbits, and the like, mean that the sun has to be at the centre of "our" solar system and the planets revolve around it. That's what experiments have shown. Otherwise it gets messy.
