    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...
    does this mean I can eat a whole package of Oreos and still lose weight as long as that's all I eat all day???

    OMG I WISHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

    LOL

    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.

    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.

    Nope, but have a good grasp of the English vocabulary (or enough to know the difference between dense and heavy) will make you sound smart - or at least not uneducated.

    "How do I log sex in my exercise log?"

    Sorry, but unless you're a porn star, you probably burn more calories putting the groceries away:laugh:

    This reminds me fo another EPIC thread some time ago.... someone posted some bad advice, and when her diary was looked at, she's actually logged teaspoons of sperm!!!

    PAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHa

    and guys...

    1 lb of muscle = one pound
    1 lb of fat = one pound
    but which one takes up less space?

    ahh i just solved the mystery of life.

    Clearly. Who are all these "so called English"? There are a lot of people from the UK on MFP, but I wasn't referring to them.

    If you rest your case, so do I. I'm not going to try anymore to convince of the correct definition of heavy.
