Relative to what? The earth? The sun? Interstellar space?
Measured against interstellar space, each of us are moving at least 1,300,000 mph, just sitting at our desktops.

HA! That's the same thing I initially thought about.

Where did you get that number? I actually tried some back-of-the-envelope calculations the other day, and could only really give approximations about rotation speed (approximately 1000 mph), and orbital speed, which was quite a bit more. My numbers on the galactic orbital speed was really too fuzzy to use.
