Don't worry, Eclypse. I can have as much fun as I want, and these guys will feed me until I die.

the crusades lasted hundreds of years. Stopping and starting back up again at different points.
While technically true, they did not last up till 1500. The Argonese Crusade, widely considered the last Crusade, ended in 1285. The last truly important Crusade, the Fourth, ended in 1204. The Crusades lasted roughly 100-ish years, give or take 80-ish years of failed crusades tacked on.

There were also the minor crusades that happened in the 1300s and 1400s against the Ottomans. Although I'll concede I was still a century off even with that added. (It was still meant to be a joke though, not a historically accurate statement.)

Who cares about the stupid crusades? The sun obviously revolves around the earth... look:

According to you, the earth and all the planets in our solar system revolve around the earth... that means that there must be a strong gravitational pull towards the sun in order for the earth to revolve.
There being a strong gravitational pull towards the sun, enough to drag this earth towards it, would mean that there would have to be less gravity at any given point on the surfaces of the earth which are closest to the sun.

It's proven with direct evidence from space. ..
How does a smaller body have gravitational pull over a larger body?

But if the gravitational pull of the sun was strong enough to pull the earth around it, wouldn't that affect us at any given moment?

colonel is like this guy

great argument one fatal flaw. I like you but seriously we revolve around the sun.

Seriously, we don't. There's no reason to believe that we revolve around the sun. It doesn't make any sense.

it does.

earth = less heavy

sun = heavier

heavier object pulls on less heavy object, forcing less heavy object to dance around heavier objecy.

Obviously 1+1 doesn't equal 2.

It's far more logical for us to assume that 1+1 = 11.

it is. But that doesn't make it right. You can make someone say 2+2=5 (see 1984) but it doesn't make it right.

Well, technically 1+1=window, but nobody's going to argue that here...

The point is, there is no proof that we go around the sun. It is more likely that the gravitational pull of the earth has an effect on the sun causing it to revolve around us.

The Earth ROTATES on its axis every 24 hours (relative to the Sun) and REVOLVES in orbit around the Sun once every year.

The most direct evidence of daily rotation is via a Foucault pendulum, which swings in the same plane as the Earth rotates beneath it. At either pole, the swinging plane mirrors the Earth's 24 hour period. Some rotation is observed at all other locations on the Earth's surface as well, except for the equator.

The most direct observational evidence for Earth's orbital motion is the apparent shift of nearby stars after six months, as the Earth moves from one side of its orbit to the other. Because of the large distance to even the nearest start, this parallax shift is too small to been seen without a telescope. You can see how parallax works by moving your head from side to side and observing how nearby objects appear to move relative to the background.

I believe that the Earth revolves around the sun, but this argument is god damn ridiculous! Gravity and weight are two separate things... In fact, one of the factors determining weight is gravity... You learn something new every day, Tyrion.
