Monty Python Galaxy Song

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour
That's orbiting at 90 miles a second, so it's reckoned, the sun that is the source of all our power
The Sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour, of a galaxy we call the Milky Way

So the planet revolves at 900 miles per hour. the earth orbits the sun at 90 miles per second (5400 MPH), the galaxy is expanding its way through the universe at a million miles a day (694.444 MPH), and rotating at the same time, at 400,000 MPH. I figure we're moving at about 1,100,744 MPH while we're sitting still, and we aren't travelling in a circle, so I figure we're never going to be where we are now...or were now...or then. One wonders how far we really go when we walk to the store, or how far that poor little bug has to travel when he crawls up...(No, Jeri, just let it go...)
