Orion's belt

So as I finally get to relax outside tonight in the hot tub, the sky was crystal clear and Orion (the constellation) was right above me. I don't place any value in the constellations besides there cool looking, but I remember something from my military orientation days. Orion's bet actually points east and west. So, if your ever a little lost and can't get a gps signal, check out the stars and at least you will know which wrong direction you are heading.
