Y.E.S. - Your Earth Spins - R. McDougal/ Isle of View
"Broomstick technology: The earth spins around its axis every 24 hrs at 1,000 mph and orbits the sun once a year at 66,000 mph. Adding up the spinning and orbiting means you've travelled about 550 miles since you started reading this paragraph. Or, put another way, you're traveling through space at 18.5 miles per second - faster than a bullet. Have a nice day." - Alan Fletcher from his marvelous & brilliant book: "The Art of Looking Sideways".
