I know I am not in the spirit of this thread, but I'd like to share something very interested I learned yesterday. There are two opinions on which direction to face when davening. (of course... what did you expect, ONE opinion? we're Jews! :D).
It seems that due to the fact that the Earth is a ball and not flat, there are two ways of facing Yerushalyim.
See:

New yorkers, daven twice... one tefila facing east, and one facing north-east....
R' B., which way does the GYE bm face?
