Then I'm sorry to inform you that according to Google Translate, hinde (German) is translated as dogs (English).
I don't know anything about Scandinavian cognates (about the only words I know are smorgasbord and aquavit  )

Google also translates hund as dog in German (plural Hunde). But this leaves that -n, which neither of us can explain.

We live in a wonderful world all year 'round. Why limit yourself to appreciating such a small part of it for only one day a year?
.
Appreciate as much as you can of it every day of your life!

My daughter is a redhead with green eyes and a tempermant to match! Do Not get on her bad side!

I recall in the historically accurate documentary "Big Trouble In Little China" an evil wizard was in search of a female with green eyes.
Now, every time someone mentions "green eyes" I think back to that show.

Picture the evil wizard with green eyes, and that's my daughter around PMS time.

Which day is “hair challenged”* appreciation day?
*this term is preferred to balding or bald. Not to be confused with people that shave their head.

That's the difference between Prince Charles and a bald man. One is the heir apparent, the other has no hair apparent and if you throw in a shaggy dog with puppies, that's a hairy parent

Harrumph  . I prefer the term "follicley-disadvantaged", thank you very much [sniff].

Greetings I learned some time ago from a source I now do not recall the astronauts aboard the Space Station do not experience micro-gravity or zero g in the expected sense In fact it was explained the force of Earth's gravity at that altitude is in fact just under .9 of the surface They are merely falling along w/ the station So it is no different than the "Vomit Comet" It would be nice if the popular press would explain it so Kind Regards - Cheerio

You think the "journalists" working for the popular press are in a position to explain anything? That's cute.
I can't find the obligatory XKCD comic on that very topic...

Relatively, the 'experienced' gravity is 'zero' - so your point is kinda silly. Yes, they are in Earth's gravity well, but 'zero gravity' is a good description of the perceived effect.
|
|
|
|
|
I think “free fall” is the better term.
You need to make it to the lunar LaGrange points for a closer approximation of zero G. (You are still probably free falling around the earth, the moon, and the sun all at the same time, though. Orbits are tricky.)

No you don't.
Any object in a ballistic trajectory. - a shell, a missile after it finishes its acceleration phase, a satellite (artificial or natural) is in "zero gravity" (neglecting atmospheric effects for the shell).
Having mass, they of course generate their own "gravitational" field, but that's another, much hairier story. In fact even the generalised TWO-body problem does not have an analytical solution in General Relativity; all solutions are calculated using numerical approaches.
