Next you'll be telling us the sun rises in the east.

Not to be too nit picky, but the sun actually does not rise in the East or the West. It is traveling through space and the Earth is orbiting it. The earth rotates, and it is the rotation of the earth that creates the appearance that the sun is actually rising. Now, I guess one could argue that the sun *is* rising, but not relative to the earth, but perhaps some other celestial body. but I digress...
