The speeds of these objects were given as:

Earth around the sun -- 67,108 mph
Earth and sun around the Milky Way galaxy -- 559,234 mph
Milky Way galaxy through space -- 1,342,161 mph

I have no quibble with the answer, and I understand the first and second objects, but my question is, how do you determine the speed of our galaxy through space? What is the frame of reference? What fixed point is this speed relative to?

Does it bother any Christians that ...?

many thiests consider one of the important points of religion to be the imposition of a set of moral standards, and that those who believe in the God of that religion will be rewarded after death.
While athiests must, and usually do, find a moral compass within themselves, and follow these morals because they are right, with no promise of reward.

Why on earth do I need my period?

I'm 16, I'm not having babies any time soon. It would be better if women got their periods when they turned 18, so the whole teen pregnancy thing wouldn't be a problem, and I could screw all the guys I want.

Something is wrong?

Well, I was using the bathroom, and as I was wiping myself, I felt some pain on my clitoral hood, as you may say. Only when I touch it, it hurts. And it seems a bit pale, but that may just be my imagination. I'm embarrassed to tell my mom, cause I mean I don't want to say "Mom, my pee-pee hurts." I need help? Is this serious? Will it go away on it's own? And no, I don't have my period yet.

Would aliens fly millions of light years just to look up our rectums?

Wouldn't they have better things to do like share their wisdom and technology with us or eat us and steal our planet's natural resources? Why do people who claim to have been abducted by aliens always say that they were anal probed? It seems like such a waste.

People Who Stalk?

OK, I have this theory. I can't prove it because I hate stalkers and I hate people who are so freaking robotic that they just repeat themselves like it wasn't uninteresting enough the first time they said it. My theory is that certain people get encouraged when they say certain things so they simply repeat whatever it is because the people enabling them encourage it. I used to have friends like this and I found it so annoying. Now these same people don't call me. I find it funny now in retrospect however because these same people seem to be like closeted stalkers they could just pick up the phone and call you but stalking is like more dangerous to them so that's why.
