Moved by nested lists

I have an ul that works fine, but when I add a nested ul the li above, moves. Does anyone know why? how to solve it?

I have the example here: http://jsfiddle.net/y5DtE/

HTML:

<ul>
  <li> first 
        <ul>
             <li> 1.2 </li>
        </ul>
  </li>
  <li> second </li>
  <li> third eally, really long </li>
</ul>​

CSS:

body {
    margin:0px;
}

ul {
    margin:40px auto;
    list-style-type:none;
    padding:0;
    text-align: center;
}

ul li {
    padding: 0 15px; 
    margin-right: 5px;
    background-color: #f2f2f2;
    display: inline-block;
    height: 30px;
    line-height: 30px;
    font-family: verdana;
    font-size:10px;
    color: #666
}

ul li:last-child { margin-right: 0px; }

ul li ul {
    margin:5px 0;
}​

To make sublist go under parent element apply this:

ul li {
    display: block;
    float: left;
}

To prevent floating of sub items add the following rule:

ul li ul li{
    float: none;
}

li {
    position: relative;
}

ul ul {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
}
