If you check the numbers on that chart, Dthoughts, I think you'll notice that the reported differences in gravity are miniscule, and don't begin to approach anything that might be considered "half-gravity." In other words, yeah, there might be variations, but earth's gravity still causes falling objects to accelerate toward it at a rate of about 10 meters per second per second, wherever you might be.
And, more to the point of this thread, this information only goes to confirm that gravity is infinitely variable, with its force or influence being defined by the mass or movement of the objects in the vicinity; there is no half-gravity -- which is why I asked Frank if he was being metaphorical.
