    You wouldn't say EITHER of those things! Both are wrong. Neither is heavier than the other BECAUSE they weigh the same! Dear lord.

    Jorra, just because two things weigh the same, it doesn't mean that one will not be heavier than the next. You can't tell me that a 10 pound bag of rice will not be heavier than a 10 pound bag of feathers.

    Wow =/ This is amazing. I had no idea 10lbs of rice weighed more than 10lbs of feathers! I was under the impression that they weighed the same.

    I have to bump this. You had me at uterus but now this 'great debate' about what weighs more is just too entertaining (read "outrageous and stunning!!")

    Yes, AZackery, I can tell you that 10lbs of one thing is not heavier than 10lbs of another. I don't know how many times we all can tell you, the definition of the word heavier is that it weighs more.

    Jorra, you are wrong.

    I have to ask, doesn't the fact that every single other person on this thread is trying so hard to convince you otherwise give you a hint? Remember, these other people on the thread include English majors and scientists.

    You know the old song "he's not heavy, he's my brother". He must be made of feathers.

    What DOES heavier mean, then? Obviously I (and the vast majority of English speakers) are using it incorrectly. Please, provide us with the proper definition.

    it doesn't matter what you eat as long as you don't go over your calorie goal...

    oh i forgot. they roll on page 20, not 10.

    ok let's continue...

    when i go home i'm going to bench press 10 million pounds of feathers and get all the benefits as if i bench pressed 10 million pounds of steel, because the steel is heavier even though it weighs the same. right?

    Just wear the "energy band" and the magnets in it will help balance out your body and you'll know what to eat and what makes you sick.

    REALLY? REALLY?

    I have a feeling this debate will continue on for at least another 15 pages.


    Does anyone know how many calories I can burn by repeatedly bashing my head against a brick wall?

    At least 10lbs of calories of head bashing, but that's heavier than 10lbs of fat.

    Jorra, education means nothing. I'm an educated person. I have a degree, just like all those so called English and Scientists on this board.

    Education doesn't make a person smart.

    The wall is much heavier than it looks and, if it makes any difference, my head is pretty large but not nearly as heavy as it appears.
