Any guesses on what they will name the first plane?
I can only think of bad names, how about some positive ones?

But I'm old fashioned: I still think Airplanes should be made of metals / carbon rather than gasses...

I mean, it's a hydrogen powered aircraft like a Zeppelin and it's heavy, so...

Well, "Hindenburg" (German) could be read as "Dogs Castle" (English), so why not call the new plane the "Cat Shack"?

I think dogs would be hund..., guessing from Scandinavian cognates.

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.

Does it take pirates a long time to learn the alphabet because they spend so long at C?

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
