In the link below, there is a story of a misunderstood planet who just wanted to be different. To strike out on it's own path. Fromm the sound of it, it woke up one day and said "you know, all the other planets follow the same rotation as the start they are tied to. Well, Not me! No, sir, not me any longer! Starting today, I'm gonna do my own thing!" And from then on, it has been rotating in the opposite direction as the star it rotates around. Science, naturally, tried to explain away the cause of this as a near collision with a larger planet, but we know what really caused it!
This also has caused me to wonder... If the planet rotates backwards, does that mean if you live on it, you get younger instead of older?
