Ther's also KINEsthesia: The sedation or aenesthitising of cows. Also possibly of alien origin.

So according the same logic, the study of kinematics is;
"...the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of cows without reference to the forces that cause the motion."

There was what out there?

Our lovely world's so lovely
And everything’s so nice
And everyone’s so happy
Beneath the ink-black skies!

Lightbulb More important applications of cows in "kines"...

The strange plot still thickens (like cream) …

Akinesia - loss or impairment of the power of voluntary movement. (Cows being held down when experimented on!)

Photokinesis - A movement made in response enabled by the presence of light (Cows frightened the heck out by the alien spacecraft lights just before being experimented on.) :

Akineton - A German pharmaceutical drug (sometimes called Biperiden), which bizarrely may decrease maternal milk production (actually true) [Really. No wonder 'dem cows are frightened of those aliens - and the farmer is cheesed off 'cause the aliens are decreasing their already meagre profits. ]

Akinetopsia - A rare neuropsychological disorder between the nervous system and mental functions, meaning problems with motion perception. According to Wikipedia. "Recall pictures of city lights taken while in a moving car at night. The lights have a sort of comet trail behind them. For people with this disorder, the comet trail of images is present as well." So not only are the darn aliens bamboozling those poor cows, they are making them think they come from comets!!! (I wonder if Messier or James Dunlop suffered from this condition? They saw comet-like objects all the time - and we always thought all along it was the crumby optics!! )

kith and kine - literally meaning friends (probably 'dem aliens) and cattle (the kit and caboodle, all your personal belongings)

---------------------------

kine is obviously a very diverse word

Other alternatives for kine are;

- A fairly common girl's name in Norway. (Wouldn't want to be a female sourpuss in Norway!)

- A vampire's term for "human" in 'World of Darkness'.

- Hawaiian pidgin for "excellent" or "whatcha' call it."

- Radio station Hawaiian 105 Kine-FM

- Slang often used as an adjective describing particularly potent cannabis flowers. (Aliens drugging the bovines, again!)

The connotations and relationship to cows is becoming even more disturbing.
