Someone should have paid more attention in Monty Python class.
'Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.'

Yeah, she didn't even account for the movement of the solar system within the galaxy!

In fact, you probably are. And there's no way to disprove it.

if this Super Mega comic is to be believed. (Not mine, though I do appreciate the artist's dedication to the colour yellow.)
