Would you like to see how an earth-centered solar system works?  Just click "Tychonian" in the lower right of the window.  Then you can track one of the planets in its silly loop-de-loop "orbit" by clicking "trace planet" in the upper right.  There are other controls, like speed (or even reverse).  I don't know how useful this solar system model might be to members here, but it looks nice.    ;)

I checked my birthday, there are two lines of 3 planets in alignment.
If I were a superstitious man (or a narcissist), this could be interpreted that I'm an awesome person.

and that you shall all kneel before me
and construct for me an effigy of the purest gold
and build me a temple of worship
and follow my every command

And bring me a sammich.

Wait, where was I going with this?

Thanks for this link. It's very interesting.
