I can make the sun rise in the morning!
Using ancient techniques honed over several years, I can guarantee that the sun will rise in the morning. My method is sound:

At precisely 12:31 AM Pacific time, I say a special incantation, close my eyes, count to six, and take a sip of room-temperature water. Using this method, I have caused the sun to rise 16 of the last 17 mornings (excepting February 3rd, when I forgot to do it...it was dumb luck that it rose anyway).

I have found that while I is for the greater good that I continue this routine each night, I feel that it would be more appropriate if people started paying me to do it. A small donation is all I ask (payment may be made through my PayPal account, or you can PM me your name, credit card number, exp. date, security code, birth date, and social security number).

3. Keep this in mind:
I've been keeping the sun from going nova.

6. A neighbor's rooster makes the sun rise around here
If they ever turn him into Sunday dinner, we'll be stuck in the dark forever.

7. Nope, it's me. That rooster doesn't say TRUE incantations.
It's a paradox though, that sham incantations are as effective as true incantations.
