That wasn't the messed up part. What was really messed up was 56% of the audiance thought it was the sun as well. Maybe he's related to Miss Teen South Carolina.

Why of course he was confused, he thought everything rotated around France.

That can't be for real.

A tougher question for some might have been how long does it take for the moon to complete one rotation about it's own axis?

Yeah, probably.. must be a pretty uncorelated soup of ideas that make up their picture of the earth-moon system.  Has to be, to accept the moon forever facing the earth, but the moon being the satellite.
